Meningitis outbreak

We appreciate there is a lot of understandable concern about the outbreak in Kent. We cannot provide any vaccinations outside the current eligibility, which is for children under 2.

If there is any change, we will take immediate action. Please keep an eye on the national news for updates.

Mounjaro

There has been an announcement that Mounjaro is now on the NHS.

Please do not call us and please read the information below.

This applies to two types of conditions:

  • Type 2 Diabetes
  • Obesity with other chronic conditions

If a diabetic patient is eligible, this will be discussed at their review appointment.

For other patients, there are strict criteria.

You are only potentially eligible if you have a BMI over 40 plus meet 4 out of these 5 criteria:

  • Hypertension
  • T2 diabetes
  • Obstructive sleep apnoea
  • Atherosclerotic cardio vascular disease
  • High/abnormal cholesterol

It is likely there will be a community-based service, which is not yet in place. When we have further information, we will contact eligible patients.
