Are you looking after someone, a relative, friend or neighbour who is ill, frail or disabled and is unable or has difficulties looking after him or herself? Do you give support to someone who has mental health needs or misuses alcohol or drugs?
If you are, that means you’re a carer and by registering that you are a carer with the Practice it could mean that we are able to offer you more support or link you up with organisations that could be helpful to you.
