The Meningitis Resource Pack

In 1996, the Meningitis Trust celebrated its 10^th anniversary. To commemorate this landmark in its history, the Trust launched the Meningitis Resource Pack as a medical education initiative to support healthcare professionals. The pack addresses some of the most common requests for information from medical professionals on meningitis and meningococcal disease and provides a useful service for healthcare workers across the United Kingdom.

The chapters of the pack are in Portable Document Format (PDF) and therefore, in order to view the information, you may need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader. Please click here.
