Registering with a GP Boarders are registered with Dr Khan of The Malthouse Surgery in Abingdon. Dr Khan holds a weekly surgery at 8am every Tuesday in our Health Centre and children may also have appointments at The Malthouse Surgery at other times. A brief medical examination is made of new boarders shortly after their arrival at school. This helps to identify any medical problems and allows your child to familiarise themselves with our Health Centre. Any significant medical condition needs to be communicated by parents to the Health Centre and your child’s Head of House. GP Referrals We will let parents know if their child needs to be referred to a specialist. Boarders may go to appointments with parents (if practical), guardians, or school staff. Referrals can be made on the NHS or privately for those who have private medical insurance. The school offers a private medical scheme, details of which are available through the Finance Department. Medication All medication, including natural or herbal remedies, should be supplied in its original packaging, labelled with your child’s name and handed to the Senior Nurse or House Manager on arrival at school. If your child has an Autoinjector or Asthma inhaler, the Senior Nurse or House Manager will advise what to do. Please note, we can only accept medications with instructions in English.
