| AdminHistory | Following the enlargement of Birmingham's administrative boundaries in 1911 which incorporated King's Norton, Northfield and Selly Oak under the jurisdiction of Birmingham City Council, Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury was invited to serve on the City Council Education Committee. She was subsequently appointed Chairman of the Education Committee's Hygiene Sub-Committee, a post which she served in until 1924. During this period Taylor Cadbury implemented medical treatment services for school children across Birmingham. Her work included introducing dental clinics in collaboration with Birmingham Dental Hospital and the development of the city's Central School Clinic which was opened by her friend and colleague Chief Medical Officer Sir George Newman (1870-1948) in September 1915. Taylor Cadbury also led the establishment of school clinics across Birmingham which treated minor ailments and provided spectacles. In addition, she oversaw the development of a clinic for the treatment of tonsils and adenoids which opened in October 1913. |
