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.

Named GP

We assign all new and existing patients with a named accountable GP to oversee their care.

For patients aged 75 and over, the named accountable GP is responsible for:

  • working with health and social care professionals to deliver a care package that meets the needs of the patient
  • ensuring that these patients have access to a health check

Patients can still choose to see any GP in the surgery. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate their preference.

If you have a preference or want to know who your named GP is, you can contact us for more information.
