Health Centre
WHAT WE DO
The Health Centre at Birkenhead College provides excellent support and administers first aid and immediate care to students and staff who become unwell or are injured at school.
MEDICATION AT SCHOOL
Students who need to take medication at school (long or short term) may bring their medication into the Health Centre. It will be stored in our locked cabinet and administered according to the directions on the label. Students should NOT carry medication in their school bags, unless they have consulted with our School First Aider. Please feel free to contact the Health Centre with any queries regarding medications.
