The Health Centre and medicine

Dr Middle and Dr Thomas are our School Doctors. All boarders are registered with them. One of them comes to the Health Centre from Monday to Friday at 8.00am and you can easily get an appointment to see them if you need to. You can either make one yourself by going to the Health Centre, or ask Matron and she will organise an appointment for you.

If you feel unwell, the House staff may suggest that you go to the Health Centre to see a nurse for advice (or we will phone from Reader Harris to get advice). There is always a nurse on duty in the Health Centre. If you want to see someone in the Health Centre without anyone knowing, there is a ‘drop-in’ from 4.30pm to 5.00pm each weekday. Just pop along then and the nurse will be able to help you.

You cannot keep any medicine or tablets in your room. All medicines are kept in the medicine cabinet in the House office. If you need to take medicine regularly, usually this is done at 8.00am. The Matron on duty will dispense medicines and you will sign for them.
