Caring for Carers

Anyone can be a carer – a 15-year-old girl looking after a parent with an alcohol problem, a 40-year-old man caring for his partner who has terminal cancer, or an 80-year-old woman looking after her husband who has Alzheimer’s disease.

If you are a carer, be sure to let the practice know. As a carer, you are entitled to a free flu vaccination. We can also be more flexible with appointment times for you/the person you care for and put in place agreements to share information about the condition of the person you care for (with their consent).
