Register As A Carer

Your Results

The importance of carers is recognised by the government policy document 'carer at the heart of the 21st Century families and communities'. General Practice is identified as an important part of the way the NHS helps carers.

A carer spends a significant proportion of their life providing unpaid support to family or friends. This could be caring for a relative, partner or friend who is ill, frail, disabled or has mental health or substance misuse problems.

If you care for a friend or relative there could be more help available for you.  Register with the Practice using our secure online form and we will do our best to ensure you are given all the support you need.

Carer Registration Information

A Carer is anyone who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or addiction cannot cope without their support. You are a Young Carer if you do this role and are under 18 years of age. If you are looking after someone, we would like you to let us know so we can provide the support and information you might need.

You can be added to our Practice Carers Register and we can then give you further information and support.  A carers champion is a staff member at the practice who support carers.  

The Carers Champions at the Practice are: L Dawson and D Stocks
