We’re celebrating the power of different minds this Neurodiversity Week 🎉

In just 12 months, our network has grown into a supportive community of 38 colleagues, sharing experiences, learning from one another, and promoting greater understanding across our organisation.

We value the unique strengths neurodiverse colleagues bring and are committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels recognised and supported. Here’s what some of our network members have to say:

🗣 ️ “It’s a safe space where we can share experiences and learn from each other… it’s made a real difference to how I feel at work.”

🗣 ️ “The network has turned understanding into empowerment… and reminded me that I’m not alone.”

🗣 ️ “There is hope and with the right support comes the ability to overcome.”

We’re so proud of our colleagues and the strength found in shared understanding. Here’s to continuing to build a workplace that celebrates the diversity of minds at SpaMedica!

We are now treating patients with Glaucoma in Peterborough!

Glaucoma, often called the “silent thief of sight,” often develops without warning. Regular monitoring and early treatment are vital to protecting your vision. Our consultant-led team provides specialist tests, ongoing check-ups, and tailored care to help manage the condition as best as possible.

As well as comprehensive glaucoma care, our hospitals provide specialist care for cataracts, age-related macular degeneration and posterior capsule opacification. We achieve some of the best cataract outcomes in the country, and our fast-access AMD service ensures you receive your sight saving treatment timely — all under one roof.

World Glaucoma Week | Uniting for a Glaucoma-Free World 👁️🌍

This week marks World Glaucoma Week! A global initiative led by the World Glaucoma Association to raise awareness of glaucoma and the importance of early detection.

Glaucoma is often described as a “silent” condition, many people don’t realise they have it because it can develop without noticeable symptoms. If left untreated, it can lead to vision loss. That’s why regular eye and optic nerve checks are so important, as early detection allows treatment to help protect sight.

At SpaMedica, our care is personalised, compassionate and easy to access. With 21 locations across the UK offering glaucoma services, patients benefit from:

✅ Short wait times
✅ Personalised treatment plans
✅ 24/7 nurse support for questions or reassurance
✅ Expert glaucoma care, including laser, drops and surgery if needed

If you’re due for an eye test, or have any concerns about your vision, book an appointment with your local optician today.

Happy Employee Appreciation Day! Today, we’re celebrating our amazing SpaMedica team. Every appointment, every reassuring conversation with patients, every helpful suggestion, every act of teamwork – it all matters. ✨

Recognising each other brings our values of safety, integrity, kindness, and transparency to life and helps us create a workplace where we can all shine – and provide the best care for our patients.

We asked our colleagues what appreciation means to them and how it feels to be recognised. Their reflections are heartfelt and inspiring – take a few minutes to watch the video and hear what they have to say!

Help other patients feel confident about their eye care ⭐

If we’ve looked after you, whether for cataract surgery, AMD treatment, glaucoma care, or another eye condition we would be truly grateful if you could share your experience on Trustpilot.

Choosing where to have treatment is a big decision. Many of our patients tell us they read reviews before booking their consultation, especially for procedures like cataract surgery or ongoing care for AMD and glaucoma. Your words could be the reassurance someone else needs to take that important next step.

If you have a moment, please click the link below and share your experience. It would mean so much to us and to future patients considering their treatment.

Thank you for trusting us with your vision 💙
