The Health Centre is located within the boarding area of the main school, and is staffed 24 hours a day. The nurses dispense homely remedies, oversee all prescribed medication, and support girls who have longer term health conditions. All girls are registered with the school doctor, who holds surgeries twice a week, and whom the girls can also see in her surgery in nearby Sunningdale. The nurses liaise closely with other medical specialists and can arrange dental and eye appointments locally as necessary. Many girls have weekly sessions in Alexander Technique, which helps them achieve posture and balance, both physically and mentally. Girls can choose to see one of the two School Counsellors, who are available in school at lunchtimes and in the evening, or the Independent Listener, who visits the school three days a week. These are wise and sympathetic professionals to whom the girls know they can speak with complete confidentiality.
