SCHOOL MEDICAL SERVICE
 
The School Nurse is Ms Sarah Jacob who is a First level registered Nurse and is located in the Medical Room between the hours of 8.30 and 4.30 Monday to Friday.
 
The Medical Room
 
is available to any student who is feeling unwell. There are facilities available to rest and to receive general nursing care.  Occasionally, it may be necessary for a student to be sent home or to receive appropriate medical care elsewhere.
 
CONFIDENTIAL SUPPORT AND ADVICE
 
Students who may have certain health or emotional issues are welcome to discuss these with the School Nurse in total confidentiality. Occasionally, it may be necessary to involve other healthcare professionals or support from within the school but this will only be done with the student's permission. The medical room is also a good resource area for any students wishing to find out more information on Health Education, First Aid, illnesses etc.
There is also a School Doctor who will see students on an appointment basis.  Students are referred to her by the School Nurse, Teachers or Parents.  If boys have any health queries they can email the school nurse in total confidence if they do not want to visit the medical room: jacob.s@nottinghamhigh.co.uk

Medical health checks and Immunisations
 
Routine health checks are carried out on entry to both the Junior and Senior school where a general assessment is made of each Students physical health. This also provides a good opportunity to discuss any health or personal worries a student may have at that time.
Routine immunisations are carried out in association with the Primary Care Trust for this area of Nottingham.
