Accessible Practice

We aim to make our surgery accessible and welcoming to all patients. Our building is fully wheelchair‑friendly, with step‑free access, ramps, and wide doorways suitable for mobility aids. Inside the practice, all patient areas are located on the ground floor or can be reached without stairs.

We also provide a fully accessible disabled toilet, designed to offer extra space, support rails and ease of use for patients with mobility needs. If you require any additional assistance during your visit, our team will be happy to help.

If you have specific accessibility needs or would like support when attending an appointment, please let us know in advance so we can assist you.

Meningitis Information

📍 Due to the recent meningitis B outbreak in Canterbury, we have seen an increase in calls regarding vaccinations.


🧒 Anyone born after 2015 will have received the meningitis B (MenB) vaccine as part of the routine childhood immunisation schedule.

🚫 At this time, there is no catch‑up programme available for MenB vaccinations.


💉 From August 2015 children in school year 9 have been vaccinated with the menACWY vaccination which protects against other strains of meningitis. If you missed your menACWY vaccination you can ask to have a menACWY vaccination at your GP practice up to your 25th birthday.


📱 You can check your vaccination history via the NHS App.
⬇️ Download the NHS App now to create your account today.
