The Health Centre
Our Health Centre provides a professional health service to the Gresham’s community, 24 hours a day and seven days a week.
Morning surgery is held each weekday with the School Doctor from 8.15am, for boarders who are registered with the School Medical service and access to the Health Centre is available on a drop in basis to all pupils for nurse led consultations throughout the day.
Individual care plans for pupils with pre-existing conditions such as allergies, diabetes or asthma, are agreed with parents and these plans are reviewed and updated yearly with appropriate advice and training as necessary.
10 beds are available in shared and private rooms for those pupils who need special care or need to be isolated from the Boarding Houses; those with high fevers, contagious conditions, and those recovering from minor injuries or operations.
Our Registered Nurses provide:
• primary health care to students;
• emergency care, including First Aid treatment;
• promotion of public health within the school environment;
• referrals to allied medical and health professionals.
Sports Medicine
Comprehensive pitch-side medical cover is provided by the School Medical officer during the Rubgy season under a separate, private arrangement with the School. In addition a private physiotherapist provides a service by referral and runs a weekly clinic if demand requires. Pupils are invoiced separately for this service.
Counsellor
The School Counsellor is based in the Health Centre and is there to help pupils should they have any worries. All consultations are confidential and appointments can be made to suit the pupil’s timetable.
