Medical Provision The health and care of your son or daughter while at Stowe is obviously very important to us all. We ask the parents of all new pupils to Stowe to fill out a detailed Medical History form, which enables our medical teams to fully appreciate any health issues for the new arrivals as soon as they join us. We also ask all parents to complete an emergency contact form - where you nominate an alternative member of the family or guardian who can be contacted in an emergency if we are not able to contact you directly and immediately. Of course, we sincerely hope not to use this but far better to be prepared. Should you need to update your child's emergency contact information at any time, then please use the form provided here and send it through to the Medical Centre. The School's Medical Centre is permanently staffed during term time by a team of qualified nurses, and the School Doctors (Dr Rebecca Pryse and Dr Jonathan Pryse) hold a morning surgery every weekday between 08.00 am and 10.00 am. The best time to ring is after 09.00 am on +44 (0)1280 818210, but the Nursing Sisters are always pleased to discuss any worries or concerns at any time.
The Doctors can be contacted at other times at North End Surgery in Buckingham on +44 (0)1280 818600 and further information can be found at www.northendsurgery.co.uk If you wish to contact the medical staff by email please use medical@stowe.co.uk as it is a general address and will therefore be picked up by whoever is on duty. Dr Rebecca Pryse can be contacted directly on rpryse@stowe.co.uk Excellent consultants, both NHS and private, are available in Oxford, Aylesbury and Milton Keynes and the services of a physiotherapist and a chiropodist / podiatrist are also available at the Medical Centre.
