Taking care of our students’ health

We care for students with Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy as well as many other physical disabilities.

Whatever their condition, our priority is to enable our students to lead as full and fulfilling a life as possible. Providing excellent medical care is an integral part of this.

In providing that care, we are able to draw upon the dedication and expertise of a team of over 30 medical staff, including therapists and nurses.

Healthcare around the clock

The Health Centre is run by a team of nurses and managed by the senior nurse. It is a 24 hour facility that supports students while they recuperate from illness or surgery under the care of the nursing team with a minimum of disruption to their studies. As well as caring for students who are unwell, our nursing team carry out routine screening and immunisation programmes.  

Our Medical Officer and Assistant Medical Officer are also local GPs with long experience of working with young people with a range of complex or rare conditions.  We have an excellent relationship with the North Hampshire Hospital in Basingstoke and one of their paediatricians runs an outreach clinic at Treloar's each term.

Parental involvement is encouraged and the nursing team can be contacted at any time.

Visiting Specialists

As well as our our own medical team, our students have regular access to visiting consultants and specialists including regular visits from paediatricians, orthopaedic and maxillo-facial specialists; on-site auditory, orthopaedic and podiatrist clinics; optician and dental visits by arrangement; and access to a dietician.
