Information for healthcare professionals
The medical programme at camp is managed by our Nursing Team who will review each child’s application to ensure we can meet their needs at camp. We may contact parents or the child’s nurse/doctor if we need further information.
Medical provision
The medical team at our residential camps are known ‘Beach Patrol’. They are a team of volunteer nurses and doctors led by our Head of Nursing & Camper Experience or one of the Over The Wall 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.

“Thank you so much for looking after my boy and giving him such a wonderful experience. I think the fact that he was crying because he didn’t want to leave says it all. He has had the best time!”

Healthcare professional form
Every child applying for our residential 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.
Please note campers applying for Camp in the Cloud do not need a Healthcare Professional Form at all.
