MEDICAL ARRANGEMENTS

MEDICAL CARE

 Our camps have two on-site Medical Officers, a medical/treatment room, and multiple trained first aiders and are within easy reach of excellent hospitals.

Medical officers will give students common non-prescription medicines such as Paracetamol (only with parental consent). Students who require regular/prescribed medication can come to the medical office at arranged times to take their medication under supervision. We also offer standard clinic times for any non-urgent medical needs.

In case of injury or illness, Exsportise will follow the advice of medical professionals unless you advise in writing.

If you have any specific medical requirements or need reassurance, please book a call with our care plan team to see if we can cater for your child’s needs.

PRESCRIBED MEDICATION

Any medication MUST be handed in for safe and correct storage. If a student takes regular/prescribed medication, it will be given under supervision and it must adhere to the following:

  • Medication clearly named and stored in the original container in which it was dispensed (not in a pill box /organiser)

  • Name of the child the medicine is prescribed for

  • The date the medicine was prescribed

  • The dosage, time and frequency of administration

  • Be appropriate for the student’s age

Where more than one medicine is prescribed, these should be stored in separate, clearly marked, containers.

All medicine students bring must have an English translation, otherwise, it cannot be administered at Exsportise. Such medication will be confiscated and returned to the student on departure from camp.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS

It is essential to provide accurate information for any pre-existing medical conditions your child may have. These include any health conditions (mental or physical), learning difficulties, allergies or dietary requirements so that Exsportise can implement appropriate care plans. 

Once booked, it is essential to return the medical form if it still needs to be completed or needs updating. 

Please note that students MUST be in good health on arrival at Exsportise.

  • If you live in a country that is part of the European Union, please make sure that your child comes to camp with a European Health Insurance Card (E111). This will ensure that they can be seen by a UK doctor at no cost and without delay.

    Please note that the cover provided by this card is very limited (dental treatment is not included) and is no substitute for travel insurance.
