Carers Support & Information

We encourage all carers to register as a carer with the GP surgery. Carers often neglect their own health as they are looking after someone else. By keeping a carer fit and well, we can support them to look after the cared for person in the best way and also look after their own physical and emotional wellbeing.

If you are a carer please contact the practice and ask to be put on the surgery carers register. You will be given a carers information pack with information about support services and how the practice can help you. In most cases we can then:

  • Offer a free flu vaccination during the winter season
  • Arrange flexible appointment times to meet the carers needs
  • Signpost you to other organisations that can help you and the person you care for
