Do you or someone you know look after someone?
Carers
A carer is someone who, without payment, provides help to a relative or friend who could not manage otherwise due to illness, disability, frailty, mental health, drug or alcohol issues.
Anyone can be a carer. Some carers care for an ill partner, an elderly parent or a child with additional needs and some carers are children who look after a relative.
Many carers combine this with working, running a home and looking after children. Every caring situation is different but what carers have in common is that they usually put their own needs last.
If you are a carer or you know someone who is carer please let us know at the practice by filling in our carers form. Once you have been added to our carers register you will be invited to attend an annual carers review at the practice.
Please save and complete Carers Registration Form. Once completed you can email it to us on b83012.manormp@nhs.net or print off the form and bring it in to the practice.
