Are You a Carer?
It is important for you and the person you care for that you tell us about your caring responsibilities.
We can :-
- Support you with any physical health issues related to your caring role, like tiredness
- Make you aware of the carer’s flu vaccination each year
- Talk to you about your mental health and the impact of your caring role
- Provide you with general information and advice
- Refer you to helpful organisations and services that can improve your caring situation
- Give you flexible appointments at times that suit you
- Refer you for a Carer’s Break payment if your caring role is impacting your health, potentially meaning you can take a break.
National Support
Carers UK
Caring will affect us all at some point in our lives. With your help, they can be there for the 6,000 people who start looking after someone each day.
Carers Trust
Carers Trust is a major charity for, with and about carers. They work to improve support, services and recognition for anyone living with the challenges of caring, unpaid, for a family member or friend who is ill, frail, disabled or has mental health or addiction problems. Their vision is that unpaid carers count and can access the help they need to live their lives.
NHS Carers' breaks and respite care
Respite care means taking a break from caring, while the person you care for is looked after by someone else. It lets you take time out to look after yourself and helps stop you becoming exhausted and run down.
