🚫 Missed Appointments – Please Help Us Help Others 🚫

We are currently experiencing higher than normal numbers of patients not attending their booked appointments (DNAs).

📊 In April alone, we had 123 missed appointments, which equals over 20 hours of lost clinical time, appointments that other patients urgently needed.

⏰ Today by 2:30pm, we have already recorded 10 DNAs.
Every missed appointment is time that could have been given to another patient.

📱 Appointment reminders:
If we have your mobile number, you will receive 3 text message reminders before your appointment. These messages also give you the option to cancel if you no longer need the appointment.

✅ Please use this cancellation option so we can offer the time to someone else.

Thank you for helping us provide timely care to all our patients 💙

📣 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞: 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐀𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬 𝐁:

We’re sharing this update to help keep our community informed and protected. Meningitis B is a rare but serious infection, and while it can affect people of any age, it spreads more easily in settings where people are in close contact, such as universities, shared housing, or social events.

🟢 𝐍𝐨 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜:

We want to reassure everyone that there is no cause for alarm. The recent meningitis B cases in Kent are isolated and contained, and there is currently no wider risk to the community. Public health teams are closely monitoring the situation, and anyone who may have been in direct contact has already been identified and supported. Staying informed is important, but there is no need for panic.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬:

- Meningitis B can develop quickly

- Early symptoms can resemble common illnesses

- Vaccination is the best way to reduce your risk

𝐁𝐞 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐬:

- Fever

- Severe headache

- Sensitivity to light

- Vomiting

- Rash that doesn’t fade under pressure

- Neck stiffness

𝐈𝐟 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫, 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝:

At present, our surgery is not offering MenB vaccinations or booster doses. This includes both routine and outbreak‑related MenB vaccinations for older children, teens, or adults.

The UK routine MenB schedule currently applies only to infants, and there are no wider NHS catch‑up programmes for older age groups.

However, patients wishing to obtain a MenB vaccination or booster privately may do so through community pharmacies

If you are a college/university student you can book a vaccine at Boots Fraddon, by following the link below:

or
https://healthclinics.superdrug.com/services/meningitis-b-vaccination/

If you’re unsure whether you’re protected please contact the practice. We’re here to help you stay safe and informed.
