Many GP surgeries across Tendring have recently switched to using online booking systems such as Accurx. SUMMIT would like to hear your views on this change and understand how it has affected your experience of trying to see your local GP. We are running a short, independent survey to explore what works well and what could be improved when booking appointments. Your feedback will help us develop practical recommendations to improve access to GP services, and will also inform the development and funding of future SUMMIT services so we can better support local people in our coastal communities.

This is a large-scale lived experience deep dive into what it is like to be neurodivergent in Essex today. It is being led by neurodivergent staff members at SUMMIT and will be shaped by the experiences of people who are Autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, dyspraxic, living with OCD, and more. The project will look at both the strengths and benefits of being neurodivergent, alongside the barriers and challenges people face in everyday life, including work, education, relationships, and participation in society. The aim is not just to gather personal stories, but to create real change. By working together, we will design and co-produce practical resources that help employers and service providers better understand, include, and support neurodivergent people.
