A Sustainable Approach to Care
We are proud that the Hunt Health Centre is powered by renewable energy. Using advanced air-to-water heat pump technology, we significantly reduce CO₂ emissions and fuel consumption, combining first-class care with environmental responsibility.
Preparing for Each Term
To help us deliver the best care, we ask parents to update us at the start of every term (Quarter) if their child has received any medical treatment or started new medication during the holidays.
If your child is unwell, please ensure they have fully recovered before returning to School. In cases of vomiting or diarrhoea, they should remain at home for 48 hours after the final symptoms.
Get in Touch
For any queries or to discuss your child’s health needs, please don’t hesitate to contact the Hunt Health Centre team. We’re here to help you, every step of the way.
