Stammering & Healthcare

We invite all those working within healthcare and the NHS to join us to improve the patient journey for people who stammer. 

Lots of our members have contacted us about being hung up on, rushed or laughed at because of how they speak when phoning to make a GP appointment. You can read more of their stories by downloading our 'GP appointments: patient experiences' doc below.

Help us create lasting change which we believe will help every patient, not just those who stammer.

How we can help

At STAMMA, we provide training and materials to help you with service user journeys:
