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. 

University GP Service

We have a branch site located on the University of Manchester campus. This is conveniently located within Crawford House, so university staff and students can access the care they need in between work and studies.

If you are a student or staff member of the University of Manchester, you can register with the University GP Service no matter where you live. Otherwise, you can register at our main site, The Robert Darbishire Practice if you live within our catchment area.
