We have put together some helpful information for you in the images attached to this post, so be sure to take a look to find some simple ways to build more movement into your day.

🧡 World Patient Safety Day 2026 🧡

This year’s theme is “Safe care for noncommunicable diseases”, with the powerful message:
✨ Safe care for life! ✨

People living with long term conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer and chronic respiratory conditions often need ongoing support and care. Making sure that care is safe, joined up and centered around the individual is essential.

Patient safety is everyone’s responsibility. By listening to people, involving them in decisions about their care and working together across health and community services, we can help reduce avoidable harm and improve experiences of care.

For more information on the long term conditions mentioned in the graphic, please refer to the following links.

🤝 National Inclusion Week 2026: Reasonable Adjustments
Did you know you can ask your GP practice for reasonable adjustments?
The Equality Act 2010 requires all health and social care organisations, including GP surgeries, to remove the barriers disabled people face, so that using health services is just as easy for disabled people as it is for anyone else.

Reasonable adjustments can look like:
✅ Extra time during appointments
✅ Information provided in an easy-to-understand format
✅ Support from an interpreter or communication aid
✅ A calmer space to wait, away from the main area
✅ Letters or appointment details in an accessible format

If any of this sounds like it could help you, please let your GP practice know. Sharing your needs means staff can make sure the right support is in place whenever you need NHS care.
Building trust starts with listening. Let's navigate this together.
