ℹ️Please find below an update on the current situation following the meningitis outbreak in Kent.ℹ️

Please see the NHS guidance for signs and symptoms of meningitis:
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/meningitis/

• Babies – under the NHS immunisation schedule, babies are vaccinated against Meningitis B from 8 weeks up to their second birthday and will be routinely invited to attend the surgery for their vaccinations.
• School aged children – are routinely offered the Meningitis ACWY (MenACWY) vaccine at school in Year 9. If your child is in year 9 and 10 and missed their vaccination, the LLR School Aged Immunisation Service provides catch up clinics, they can be contacted by email lpt.sais@nhs.net or telephone 0300 3000 007.
• Individuals who have left school following their GCSEs up to the age of 25 who missed the Year 9 routine MenACWY vaccination at school and have not yet received the vaccine, can contact the surgery for their immunisation.
• MenB – older children, teenagers, and adults are not routinely offered the MenB vaccine on the NHS unless advised as part of a specific outbreak response. If patients would like the MenB vaccine privately, it is available through some pharmacies and private clinics.
• If an individual has returned home from Canterbury, Kent and has not already received prophylaxis through UKHSA-coordinated clinics, we will prescribe this.

In the event of a local outbreak, we will follow guidance from UKHSA Health Protection Teams.

Physical activity is safe and helpful even if you have multiple long-term health conditions.

Managing several health issues can feel overwhelming, but gentle movement can support your overall wellbeing, reduce symptoms, and improve energy levels. You don’t need to do intense exercise — even small amounts of walking, stretching, or chair exercises can make a difference.

Always start at your own pace. Remember, every bit of movement counts toward better health.
