Cases of invasive meningococcal disease

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is continuing to investigate an outbreak of meningococcal disease in Kent with 13 cases notified since 13 March. Sadly, this includes two people who are known to have died.

Awareness of meningitis signs and symptoms are important because the MenACWY vaccine does not protect against all strains - Meningitis - Symptoms - NHS. UKHSA has resources available to help promote the signs and symptoms of the infection. Updated resources have been compiled into a document for stakeholders available on Google Drive.

A blog on meningitis symptoms, risks and protection is available here.

Meningitis is a serious condition where the protective layers (meninges) around the brain and spinal cord become inflamed. It has many causes, such as different germs, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. In the UK, most cases are due to bacteria

Sleep is so important for children’s growth, learning, and wellbeing. Creating a calm bedtime routine and consistent sleep times can really help little ones settle and get the rest they need.

If you are struggling, call us on 01752 434008 for further advice and support.

Thank you to all of our lovely patients that take the time to complete the friends and family feedback questionnaires. The most used words reflect below :

Message from NHS Digital:
As part of the ongoing commitment to improve patient data collection and access to health and care services, the online GP registration form has been updated to better identify and former armed service members.

Historically, the form has included a single question aimed at identifying patients transferring from Defence Medical Services (DMS) GPs. This helps practices understand from where to request patient medical records.

The online registration process now includes an additional question about armed forces service. This change is designed to ensure more accurate data collection and improved access to NHS priority services, like mental and physical health support and prosthetics.

The new question
The online registration form now asks:

Have you ever been in the UK Armed Forces or Armed Forces Reserves?

Has a family member ever been in the UK Armed Forces or Armed Forces Reserves?

Had unprotected s*x or a contraceptive issue (like a missed pill or split condom)? Emergency contraception can help prevent pregnancy.

We offer both main types — call us on 01752 431124 to speak with our team. It’s also a great time to review your ongoing contraception options.

💛 Tonight we will light Smeaton’s Tower yellow as Plymouth marks the COVID 19 Day of Reflection - a national moment to pause, remember and stand together.

On this day, we remember every life lost, every family changed forever, and the resilience and kindness that carried our communities through extraordinary times. We also acknowledge those still living with grief or the long-term impact of the pandemic.

Here’s how you can take part today:
✨ Take a quiet moment to reflect
✨ Reach out to someone who might be struggling
✨ Share a memory or message of support
✨ Join others across the UK in honouring the compassion shown throughout the pandemic

As Smeaton’s Tower glows yellow tonight, may it be a symbol of remembrance, care and hope for Plymouth. 💛
