Update on meningitis cases in Kent

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is currently investigating an outbreak of invasive meningococcal disease in the Canterbury area of Kent. A number of patients have contacted the practice regarding this, and we would like to provide reassurance and share the latest public health advice.

At present, this outbreak is localised to Kent, and there is no evidence of wider community spread in London. The UKHSA is actively managing the situation and contacting those considered to be at higher risk directly.

All updates to the situation are being published here.

Training practice

General practitioner registrars, foundation year 2 doctors and students

Our practice is a training/teaching practice. Our registrars are fully qualified and have a great deal of hospital experience. Registrars are attached to our practice for 12 months and patients find their fresh, enthusiastic approach adds to the healthcare we provide. The registrars are at all times encouraged to seek advice from the practice partners, and they may also ask your consent to video your consultation for training purposes.

We also have F2 doctors, in their 2nd year post qualifications, attached to the practice throughout the year. Each F2 doctor joins us for four months slotted in between their duties at St. George’s and St Thomas’ Hospitals.

We are also fortunate to have medical students attached to our practice and, with your consent, they may be present at the consultation with your doctor.
