Carers Champions
Every GP Surgery should have a Carers Register and a Carers Champion.
A Carers Register is a list of Patients who are providing unpaid care to someone with a long – term health condition.
You can speak to the Receptionist or Practice Manager to request a registration form.
A Carers Champion is a voluntary role, their role is to help:
-
Promote the importance of GP Carer registration for Young and Adult Carers
-
Listen to Carers needs and signpost them to local organisations for support with Memory Loss / Dementia
Hidden Disabilities
Look out for the Sunflower lanyard- an indication that someone has a hidden disability. Perhaps offer support or more time and be extra kind!
Forget Me Notts
