Supporting patients who stammer or who are dysfluent

STAMMA, a UK charity for people who stammer and their allies, conducted a survey in 2023 of their members’ experiences when making a general practice appointment. The published results highlight some of the difficulties that can be experienced when contacting their GP team, particularly by telephone. A leaflet has been produced to help GP practices to improve interactions with people who stammer, reducing potential health inequalities and leading to better experience and health outcomes for patients.
