Autism Awareness Day

2nd April 2026

Today is .

Hospital visits can be especially challenging for neurodiverse patients, that’s why have introduced sensory bags to our wards. It’s a simple way to help improve comfort and overall experience. 

The sensory bags include:

  • Noise cancelling headphones
  • Fidget toys
  • Tools to help patients express how they’re feeling

If you feel you or a loved one would benefit from accessing a sensory bag whilst at hospital, speak to a member of the ward staff. Together, we’re creating a more inclusive and supportive hospital for everyone.

Our staff at SA¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ Hospital have long been well regarded for the quality of care and treatment they provide for our patients and for their innovation, commitment and professionalism. This has been recognised in a wide range of achievements and it is reflected in our award of NHS Foundation Trust status. This is afforded to hospitals that provide the highest standards of care.
