Support for carers



How we can help carers

It is important for you and the person you care for that you tell us about your caring responsibilities.

We can :-

  • support you with any physical health issues related to your caring role, like tiredness
  • make you aware of the carer’s flu vaccination each year
  • talk to you about your mental health and the impact of your caring role
  • provide you with general information and advice
  • refer you to helpful organisations and services that can improve your caring situation
  • give you flexible appointments at times that suit you
  • refer you for a Carer’s Break payment if your caring role is impacting your health, potentially meaning you can take a break.
