Support for Carers
We recognise and appreciate the vital role that carers play in supporting family members, friends, or neighbours who need help due to illness, disability, or age.
Who is a Carer?
A carer is someone who provides unpaid care and support to someone who couldn’t manage without help. This can include helping with daily activities, managing medication, or attending appointments.
How We Support Carers
- Carer Registration: Please let us know if you are a carer so we can register you as such and tailor our support accordingly.
- Support and Advice: Our team can provide information about local support services, financial help, and respite options.
- Flexible Appointments: We understand your commitments and can offer flexible appointment times to suit your needs.
- Confidentiality: Your information is treated with the same confidentiality as all patients.
How to Let Us Know You’re a Carer
If you are a carer, please tell us when you register with the practice or at any time during your visits. You can also contact our reception team to update your records.
For help and support, please speak to one of our care coordinators, who can provide advice and assistance tailored to your needs.
