Month: June 2018

At our Community Forum on 26 June, we launched our annual report for 2017 / 18. It’s also our fifth anniversary and we’ve come a long way!

This years’ theme was ‘Making an impact’. Every change we’ve helped to bring about in health and social care started with a story from someone who uses services.

Examples of our impact:

Local visually impaired, d/Deaf and people with learning disabilities told us they face difficulties if GPs do not meet their communication support needs. 

So we talked with patients in focus groups and one-to-one interviews. We published a report including recommendations for action which are in line with the new Accessible Information Standard (AIS) which came into force in July 2016.
