We are receiving a number of enquiries following the recent Meningitis B outbreak in Kent. This outbreak is expected to be short-lived and antibiotics have been offered to contacts of any confirmed cases.

The Meningitis B vaccine has been offered to babies born on or after 1st May 2015. Most people born before this date will not have been offered the Meningitis B vaccine through the NHS routine immunisation schedule. You can check your child’s vaccination status in your NHS app. Currently there is not enough stock to allow primary care to give the Meningitis B vaccine outside of the standard immunisation protocol.

Infectious disease experts also advise that it takes 2 doses of the vaccine and a 4 week period after the vaccine has been given for it to become effective.

🦆 **Nesting Ducks in Our Car Park – Please Be Careful** 🦆

We’re delighted to share that we currently have ducks nesting in our car park! This is a wonderful sign of local wildlife, and we’re doing our best to keep them safe while they raise their young.

Please remember that **nesting ducks are protected under law**, so we kindly ask everyone to:
• Drive slowly and carefully in the car park
• Keep an eye out for ducks crossing or resting nearby
• Avoid disturbing the nesting area
• Give them plenty of space

With a little care and patience from everyone, we can help ensure they stay safe during this important time. Thank you for helping us protect our local wildlife! 🐣💚

We are having significant problems with our clinical record system. This is a national problem of which the software company are aware.

This means we are struggling to access patient notes - if your issue is not urgent for today please avoid submitting appointment and administrative requests via our phone or online appointment systems.

Our reception AI is already saving several hours a day of staff time and helping us respond more quickly.

A few things we want to be very clear about:

• This is not about removing care — it’s about protecting it
• AI is generating a form for you and putting it straight through to a GP.
• It helps us prioritise urgent problems faster
• It reduces waiting, and missed calls.
• It allows our team to focus their time where it matters most.
• our most vulnerable patients are either already being on or being added to VIP bypass.

Healthcare is under real pressure. Doing things “the way we always have” is no longer sustainable for patients or staff. This change is part of making sure we can continue to provide safe, accessible care long-term.

We know change can feel uncomfortable at first. We’re listening, we’re monitoring closely, and we’ll keep improving how the system works for you.

Thank you for your patience while we modernise the way care is delivered.

📞 About missed calls from the practice

We know it can be worrying to see a missed call from the surgery.

Please be reassured that we will always try to call you twice if we need to speak to you.

If you miss the first call, we will make a second attempt.
If we’re still unable to reach you, we’ll usually send a text message with clear next steps so you know what to do.

👉 You don’t need to keep calling the practice if you’ve missed a call — we’ll let you know how to respond.
