Health Care
All boarders are automatically registered with the College Medical Officer as this allows for continuity of care. When pupils are away from the College, they are still able to see their family GP as a temporary patient.
If boarders are ill they are cared for in-house by the house matron in consultation with the nurse on duty. If day pupils are ill we may contact parents and ask them to take them home.
Any pupil or parent may request to speak to the doctor in complete confidence at any time. However, day pupils are generally only seen by the College Medical Officer in an emergency situation.
All our nursing staff are trained in basic counselling skills and offer a listening ear.
We advise that dental treatment and eye care continues with the pupil’s present practitioner.
Medical Cover for Pupils from Non EU Countries
Non EU pupils are strongly advised to obtain private medical insurance cover, as they may not be covered immediately for all treatment under the NHS.
