🌈 World Autism Acceptance Week – aiming to increase understanding and acceptance of autistic people🌈
Autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition that affects how people communicate, interact and experience the world. It is a spectrum, meaning every autistic person is different and may have different strengths, challenges and support needs.
Around 700,000 people in the UK are autistic, and many face barriers in everyday life, including healthcare, education and employment.
Autistic people may experience:
• Differences in communication and social interaction.
• Sensory sensitivities (such as to noise, light or touch).
• A preference for routines and predictability.
However, many autistic people also have strengths such as strong attention to detail, creativity and deep focus.
This week is about moving beyond awareness to acceptance, understanding and inclusion. Small changes, like patience, clear communication and supportive environment, can make a big difference.

PPG Annual Survey 2025/26

We are once again delighted with the results of our annual Patient Participation Group Survey.

This year, we repeated the same questions as last year to allow for a clear year-on-year comparison of results. The survey was sent directly to patients who have registered and verified an email address with the practice, and we were pleased to receive 306 responses, an excellent level of engagement.

Most encouragingly, every question showed a positive improvement compared with last year.

This is a fantastic outcome and very motivating for the entire practice team.
