Meningitis Update – Important Information for Our Patients

We’re receiving a high number of calls about the recent meningitis cases reported in Kent.

➡️ There is no increased meningitis risk in Salford based on current guidance.

The type of meningitis involved spreads through close contact. Unless you have been in contact with someone affected or visited the specific nightclub linked to the outbreak, your risk is very low.

If you’re worried someone has symptoms of meningitis:
🚨 Call 999 or go to A&E immediately. Do not come to the GP surgery.

Parents:
Children born from 2015 onwards usually received the MenB vaccine.
Under‑2s who are behind on vaccines can have a catch‑up appointment.

Over‑2s and adults:
MenB vaccination is not available on the NHS, but can be arranged privately.

We’ll update you if national guidance changes.
More information:

Read about meningitis, an infection of the protective membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. Find out about the symptoms, vaccines and treatments.

Today NHS has announced that it will lower the threshold at which home-screening kits for bowel cancer will trigger a referral for further testing 📢

From next month, the level at which a faecal immunochemical test (FIT) in England will lead to further investigations will lower from 120 micrograms of blood per gram of poo (µg/g) down to 80 µg/g. The NHS will now roll out the lower threshold carefully across England, with national coverage set to be completed by 2028.

The NHS estimates that this change will lead to 35% more screening colonoscopies each year in England to help diagnose, rule out or even prevent bowel cancer.
