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.

The University GP Service is an on-campus medical GP practice provided by The Robert Darbishire Practice. It’s located on the 4th floor of Crawford House on Booth Street East.

If you aren’t in our practice catchment area, you will see a message pop up that says you will receive a restricted service. Don’t worry, you will receive the same care as patients within our catchment area, we just can’t offer home visits to you.

This service is for students and staff of The University of Manchester only. If this doesn’t apply to you, please register at our main branch.
