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. 

Accessing someone else’s information

As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. We call this having proxy access. We can set this up for you if you are both registered with us.

To request proxy access:

  • collect a proxy access form from reception during opening times

Linked profiles in your NHS account

Once proxy access is set up, you can access the other person’s profile in your NHS account, using the NHS App or website.

The NHS website has information about using linked profiles to access services for someone else.
