For the seventh year running, the charity teamed up with the Royal College of General Practitioners for the Excellence in Disability Care award, which rewards practices that have gone out of their way to make sure their disabled patients receive high quality care.

Awardjudges are particularly interested in surgeries that go the extra mile, fulfilling not just their legal obligations to make their service accessible to disabled people, but being genuinely inclusive as well.
