How can I get the right professionals to deal with my lasting effect from menengitis.Apart from my local doctors but are nhs funded

Hu Tracy, following my discharge from hospital where I’d spent 4 months with TB meningitis, I was referred to a neuropsychologist for assessment. I continued to see him over the next few years as he supported me through problems I was having after returning to my job as department head at a global finance company.

I would ask your GP to refer you to a similar service as I found it extremely helpful for me personally. Good luck
