If you provide unpaid care or support to a family member, friend or neighbour due to illness, disability, frailty, mental health needs or substance misuse, you may wish to register as a carer with the practice.
Recording that you are a carer helps us understand your circumstances and ensure your medical record is up to date.
It may also help us identify services, support and health initiatives that may be relevant to you.
Why Register as a Carer?
Registering as a carer helps us:
- Record your caring responsibilities on your medical record
- Understand any impact your caring role may have on your own health and wellbeing
- Identify eligibility for services or health initiatives that may apply to carers
- Signpost you to local support organisations where appropriate
