Autistic Pride Day is led by Autistic people. It is a day to celebrate Autistic identity, share free resources, and create a world where Autistic people are respected, supported, and unapologetically themselves every day of the year.

Autistic Pride Day 2026 makes the statement ‘Noticing is not the same as acting’, and sees the launch of the demand for an Autism Standard. The conversation around autism has never been louder. However, the way funding and hiring decisions are made have not changed, and very few systems measure whether autistic people are actually okay.

💙 Reasonable Adjustments at Malthouse Surgery 💙

We are committed to making our services accessible to everyone.

Some patients may need additional support or adjustments when accessing healthcare. These are known as "reasonable adjustments" and can help ensure patients receive care in a way that meets their individual needs.

Examples include:
✅ Information provided in larger print or easy-read formats
✅ Access to a quieter waiting area
✅ Having a family member, carer or supporter present during appointments
✅ Other adjustments to help with communication, understanding or accessing our services

If you, or someone you care for, has a disability, impairment, sensory need, learning disability, autism, mental health condition, or any other circumstance that means adjustments would help, please let us know.

We can record these needs on your patient record using the NHS Reasonable Adjustment Digital Flag so that our team can provide consistent support whenever you access our services.

Please speak to a member of our team if you would like to discuss any adjustments that may help you access care more easily.

Diabetes is a chronic condition causing high blood sugar. Type 1 diabetes is caused by an autoimmune reaction, and is often diagnosed in childhood. Type 2 is the most common, and is often driven by obesity and lifestyle choices. Diabetes can lead to serious health issues, but this can be avoided if it is well managed with monitoring, good diet and medication. You can find out the symptoms at

Are you worried that you, your child or someone you know may have diabetes? Having some diabetes symptoms doesn’t mean you definitely have the condition, but you should always contact your GP, just to make sure.

A carer is anyone who looks after someone who has a disability, mental or physical illness, addiction, or who needs extra help. Caring is very important and can be rewarding, but it can also be difficult, isolating and financially demanding, and often has a huge impact on the carer’s own work and personal life. Caring without the right information and support can be tough.

Carers Week aims to raise awareness, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the contribution they make. It also helps people to identify themselves as carers and access much-needed support. Carers Week 2026 calls on us all to build carer-friendly communities.

You can find resources and help to understand more about caring and contribute to a carer-friendly society at

Carers Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face, and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK.
