Health professionals

Often when patients leave hospital they feel alone and have a lot of questions about what has just happened to them and what they can expect.

We are here to support those patients and we ask health professionals who work with those patients to forward our contact information onto them. We hate the thought of people feeling on their own, so please help us by spreading the word about our work.

The Trust helps anyone who has experienced meningitis and will do this through a range of professional services which are completely free.

We have a number of resources to help ensure that you and your patients have the relevant information on meningitis, including general awareness, discharge from hospital, after-effects and bereavement. Click here for more information.

If you have any questions or you would like more information, please call our Freephone helpline are more than happy to help you. We also have a dedicated team that work on daily basis with health professionals, if you would like to discuss how we can help you or how you can help us, please get in touch.
