The school has a five bedded health centre, predominantly used for the care of boarding pupils, though any day pupils who become unwell during the day are also cared for there.

The health centre is staffed by a full-time qualified nurse who is resident within school and is able to be contacted at all times during

term time.

The local doctors surgery provides medical advice/cover and all boarding pupils are registered with the doctors at the practice on entering the school. Pupils have access to a male or female doctor who visit the school on Mondays or Thursdays if required.  Should a pupil need to be seen prior to their next visit to the school then they will be taken to the medical practice.

The nearest hospital with accident and emergency services is at Chesterfield. The school nurse is always present during games lessons and fixtures. Other medical services e.g. physiotherapy, dentist etc are available in the local area and can be arranged via the school nurse.

Mount St Mary's College complies with all the requirements of the Children Act and enjoys a very good relationship with Derbyshire Social Services who inspect the school's provision for boarding and day pupils on a regular basis.
