You are a carer if…
- you look after someone who is ill, disabled, elderly or frail, and this person depends on you for their needs, care and support
- the help and support you give is unpaid.
Many people are carers without even knowing it. Once you realise that you are a carer you could get the support and information you are entitled to. This could include practical or emotional support, or help to claim suitable benefits.
Angela Robinson is our Carer’s Champion and promotes Carer identification & support in the practice. All carer’s are eligible for an annual health check and flu vaccination. You can make an appointment with the practice nurse.
