Our independent survey exploring how well residents in Tendring can access GP services, particularly since many surgeries introduced online booking systems, will close on Tuesday 30th June. However, there’s still time for you to get involved before it does.

SUMMIT is exploring the development of a new LikeMinds Essex peer group for women navigating menopause or perimenopause alongside Autism, ADHD, or other forms of neurodivergence. By sharing your ideas, thoughts and experiences, you can help shape the kind of support that neurodivergent women across Essex would like to see and access in the future.

As part of SUMMIT’s 50th anniversary celebrations, we are launching a new project called The Neurodivergent Truth. This large-scale, collaborative lived-experience initiative explores what it is really like to be neurodivergent in Essex today. The positives, the challenges, and everything in between. If you live in Essex, or have lived there previously, and identify as neurodivergent, we would love to hear from you.

Many GP surgeries in Tendring have now switched to using online booking systems for patients to make appointments. We would like to hear how this change has affected you.
