We recognise that the recent meningitis outbreak in Canterbury may be a cause for concern amongst visitors to our campus.

This has been a regional public health matter with the response led by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). Following their guidance, our campus remains open. 

We have been reassured by the authorities that the peak of the outbreak has now passed and, whilst we are continuing to encourage our community to remain vigilant of symptoms, we are welcoming visitors to events and activities on campus as normal.

We extend our thanks to the incredible public health teams who acted quickly to contact and support those most at risk. Those seeking further updates can access  the latest UKHSA information and NHS advice online.
