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.
A chaperone is a clinical or non-clinical member of staff to be with you while you have a medical examination.
If you would like a chaperone for an examination, please let the doctor or nurse know and we will arrange one for you. On occasion this may mean rearranging the appointment but we will try to avoid this.
