Are you a Carer?
We would like to help identify as many carers as possible who are registered at the practice so that we can offer them support and assistance. whether you or someone you know is a carer or helps to look after someone else.
We aim to: –
-Identify and register carers to make it easier to offer practical things, (like health checks and flu vaccines) to maintain good health of carers.
-Timely identification and referral of young carers can help reduce the impacts of inappropriate caring during childhood.
-Having up-to-date carers register helps us to target health screening for areas of risk, such as depression, high blood pressure, etc.
-Early identification of carer health problems can lead to faster treatment and improved health outcomes.
-Improved support for the carer can lead to better care planning and more effective implementation of the subsequent care plan.
-Improved physical health and emotional wellbeing of carers can lead to reduced demand on services.
-We also have a social prescriber attached to the practice that can help support carers to access social events/local support groups to help to provide further advice and information to carers.
