Do you look after someone? Could they manage without your help?
Do you provide unpaid care to a friend, neighbour, or family member who couldn’t manage without your help?
Do they need your help because they are frail, elderly, have a physical illness, suffer with mental health issues or have an addiction to drugs or alcohol?
If the answer is yes to either, or both, of the questions above, it is extremely likely that you are a Carer, whether you were aware of it or not.
If you do look after someone do you realise you can register with your GP as a Carer if you are providing this support on a regular basis. If your GP surgery is aware that you are a Carer they can monitor how caring may be affecting your health or emotional wellbeing and signpost you to additional support.
You do not need to be living with the person you look after to be registered as a Carer.
If you would like to be registered then please complete the form below.
