Do you look after someone who can’t manage at home without your help?
If you look after someone, perhaps a friend or a relative, who is frail, has an illness or a disability which means they can’t manage at home without your care, you may be entitled to help.
Some carers and the people they care for are entitled to benefits. There are also many other ways you can get help, information and support.
You can register as a carer here at the practice. If you want more information please feel free to come and speak to our carers lead or the practice manager. Alternatively, further help and information is available from the following:
