Medical Facilities at Treloar School

The School Medical Centre is run by a team of nurses and managed by the senior nurse. It is a 24-hour facility comprising eight beds that enables students to 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 sick children the nursing team carry out routine health screening and immunisation programmes.

The School Medical Officer undertakes two routine clinics per week and is also available for consultation at other times.

We have an excellent relationship with the children’s wards at North Hampshire Hospital and one of their paediatricians runs an outreach clinic at the School each term.

Parents are closely involved in the care of their child, and are encouraged to contact the nursing team at any time.

Visiting Specialists

As well as 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 hygienist visits by arrangement

Going to Hospital

If hospital care is necessary, students are either referred to their own home hospital or to nearby North Hampshire Hospital in Basingstoke, where many of our visiting consultants are based. The School Medical Officer liaises with hospital doctors to ensure a continuity of care, and we keep parents well informed.
