Medical Centre | Epsom College

Hopefully, your child will remain in good health throughout their time at Epsom. However, if they do feel unwell or pick up an injury at any time, they will be well looked after by the team of nurses at the College’s Medical Centre.

Visiting The Medical Centre

The Medical Centre is staffed by Registered Nurses 24 hours a day during term time. GP surgeries are held every morning (except Sunday) 8-8.30am.

Within the Medical Centre, pupils also have access to our counselling service (Monday-Friday) and a physiotherapist.

If you ever have any queries please do not hesitate to contact the Medical Centre on 01372 821199 or 07721 072153.

If you would like to arrange a meeting or to visit the Medical Centre please do not hesitate to contact the Nurse Manager, Hannah Farish.

Keeping Us Informed

When you enrol your child with the College, you will complete a series of forms telling us about medical conditions, allergies, medication and vaccinations. We review these annually, but please make us aware of any changes as and when they happen. It’s important that all our records are up-to-date, and staff need to be aware of the medical needs of pupils in their care.

Medical Update Form

Naturally, as with all medical information, details will be held in the strictest confidence.

Pupils may receive their vaccinations during school time if parents wish, below is a schedule of when these take place. Please do update us if your child has their vaccinations carried out privately.

Confidential Counselling

We take the wellbeing of all our pupils incredibly seriously, but we know that children – like adults – may need a helping hand from time to time. That’s why we have two fully-qualified counsellors onsite.

Our counsellors provide guidance and support on all manner of topics, including:

  • depression and suicidal thoughts
  • anxiety and self-harm
  • trauma and post-traumatic stress
  • separation and attachment issues
  • eating disorders
  • ADHD and autism
  • conduct and emotional disorders

Arrange an appointment

The service is free to access and remains strictly confidential.  Email counsellor@epsomcollege.org.uk to arrange an initial appointment.

The initial appointment can be anonymous, however, it is sometimes necessary, with your consent, to talk things through with your parents, housemaster or housemistress.
