We know that our patients who care for someone may need support themselves. Over the coming year, we will contact our patients who are carers so we can add this information to the clinical records. We will also develop a pack of useful information and nominate a member of staff to help carers access the help that is available. This page on our website is under development, and as resources become available or we hear of relevant news for carers, we will add it here.
A good place to start in finding help is on the website Carers UK which can be found at www.carersuk.org.
To register a carer, please fill out the register a carer form.
