Meningitis B

You may have seen reports of an outbreak of Meningitis among university students in Kent. It is reported that this is an outbreak of Meningitis B.

We have not received instruction from NHS England to offer Meningitis B outside of the normal vaccination programme at this time. We will be contacting eligible patients who are missing other Meningitis vaccinations (ACWY) to invite them in for vaccination. 

Pride in practice

We recognise that many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people are often reluctant to ask for medical help because of negative experiences they may have had in the past.

All staff at the practice have a good understanding of the issues facing our LGBT patients and positively support them in accessing the care they need.

As a reflection of our commitment to LGBT patients, we are proud to be involved in the Pride in Practice scheme run by The LGBT Foundation.

This scheme identifies GP surgeries that are fully committed to ensuring that their lesbian, gay and bisexual patients are treated fairly and are able to discuss their issues openly with their GP or healthcare provider. We have received the gold award.
