Student health team project at the Wayside Chapel

The student health teams were organized by the Australian Medical Students Association (AMSA) as the means of student involvement in community health projects. In July, 1976, at the Wayside Chapel several student health teams each consisting of a medical student, a nursing student, and a student social worker, began a friendly, non-judgemental "first aid" service for street people with health problems. The project lasted 12 weeks and aid was given to 76 people. An evaluation of the project appears below.
