Information for healthcare professionals

The medical team at camp is known as ‘Beach Patrol’. They are a team of volunteer nurses and doctors led by our Head of Nursing & Camper Experience or one of the OTW Nursing Co-ordinators. Our volunteer Nurses come from a range of clinical backgrounds and our volunteer Doctors are ST2 and above in Paediatrics, General Practice or Emergency Medicine. We have at least one doctor at each Health Challenges camp, who is practicing at a senior level (ST4+). All are subject to interview, references and DBS check.

Every child applying for our Health Challenges Camps must have a completed Healthcare Professional Form . The child’s application will not be fully assessed until this form is received. This form must be completed by the child’s Nurse Specialist or Consultant. Forms completed by parents will not be accepted.
