MEDICAL CLINIC MEDICATION
To ensure the safety and wellbeing of all our
pupils and staff, we have a fully equipped
medical clinic, located off the main reception
in Wellington College International Early
Years Centre. The medical clinic is staffed
by our qualified nurses. Prior to your child
starting at the centre, you must complete
and return the medical form detailing any
allergies or illnesses that your child may have.
The medical clinic will manage all injuries and
illnesses but sometimes we need to contact
the pupil’s parent or guardian. Therefore,
it is vital that we always have your current
contact details. Every child must have a brief
medical check before entering the centre
each morning. Please note that any medication that has
not been prescribed by a doctor will not
be administered by the nurse. This is to
follow the regulation of Shanghai Municipal
Education Bureau and other applicable
regulations. Your support will be highly
appreciated. If your child has been prescribed
medication by a doctor that needs to be
administered throughout the day, you MUST
send it in to the Early Years Centre clearly
labelled with your child’s name and class.
Information regarding the time, dosage and
what the medication is for must be provided
by the doctor. This should be marked for the
attention of the nurse.
Should your child show signs of illness, you
will be required to take them home and
follow the advice of the nurse on next steps
to be taken. If your child becomes ill during
the day, you will be contacted and asked to
collect your child. If your child has sustained
a minor injury, we will contact you either
by telephone or email, depending upon the
severity. In more serious cases of injury that
require hospital treatment we will ask you
to either collect the child and take them to
hospital or, if required in an emergency, for
you to meet the nurse with your child at
Shanghai Children's Medical Centre. If you
wish for your child to be taken to a specific
hospital, it is the responsibility of the parent to
get the child there and not the responsibility
of the Early Years Centre.
If your child has asthma and needs to use an
inhaler, please make sure you leave one at the
nurse's room, to be on hand immediately in
an emergency. It is the responsibility of the
parents to ensure their child and the school
has the medication that their child needs.
MEDICAL
DISCLOSURES
Throughout the pupil’s time as a member of
the Early Years Centre, the nurse shall have
the right to disclose medical information
about a pupil if it is considered to be in the
pupil’s own interests or necessary for the
protection of the Wellington community.
Such information will be given and received
on a confidential need-to-know basis.
EMERGENCY
MEDICAL
TREATMENT
If your child needs emergency medical
attention while under the care of our school,
we will attempt to obtain your prior consent.
However, should we be unable to contact
you, in the event of an emergency, parents
have authorised [This is in the Wellington
College International Shanghai Terms and
Conditions.] the Head of the Early Years
Centre to consent on their behalf to the
pupil receiving emergency medical treatment
recommended by a doctor (including general
or local anaesthetic, operation or blood
transfusion, unless you have previously
notified us that you object to blood
transfusions).
In addition, should it be necessary for the
school to arrange for your child to see a
doctor, it is the responsibility of parents to
ensure that the child has adequate insurance
or pay for medical costs incurred.
