Medical Centre    

The Medical Centre has a team of four registered nurses who look after all the pupils' medical and emotional needs. The nurses are experienced school nurses and are CRB checked.  During term time, there is always a nurse on duty day and night. During morning surgery, there are 2 nurses present. Two GPs, who have a surgery in Felsted village, also hold surgeries at the school Medical Centre. Dr Slack attends Monday, Tuesday and Friday mornings and Dr Pitt, a female doctor, is present on Thursday mornings. We have access to a doctors service day and night.

From a medical point of view, the nurse on duty assesses each pupil on visiting the medical centre and implements the necessary treatment. The medical centre is well equipped to treat first aid and minor ailments. If further treatment is necessary, the nurse is able to consult the GP and organise transportation to the hospital or minor injury unit. All treatment administered is treated in strict confidence and recorded. Parents are kept informed when appropriate.

 Confidentiality    

Any child over the age of 16 is able to consent for their own treatment. Children under the age of 16, who fully understand their treatment and are mature can give their own consent to treatment. The duty of confidentiality owed to a person under the age of 16 is as great as that owed to any other person. The nurses do encourage the pupils to inform their parents and keep them up to date. Nurses endeavour to inform parents as well when appropriate. Having said this, the law on confidentiality is clear. Nurses will ask parents to consent to immunisations necessary for travel and to complete the childhood immunisation programme.
