Carer Information

Are You a Carer?

  • Are you a carer or cared for?
  • Do you care for someone who could not manage without you or are you someone that is cared for?

It is important that carers stay as fit and healthy as possible. We want to help carers however we can only do this if you let us know you are a carer and register yourself as a carer using the Carer Registration Form (see below).

Under NHS regulations all GPs are required to compile a register of carers. This identifies carers and their needs so that support can be offered when needed if you care for a relative, friend or neighbour who is dependent on that help. The person being cared for may be handicapped, have a debilitating physical or mental illness or be in frail health and can be any age.

We may be able to help you and ensure that your own health needs are met in the most appropriate way. To do this please register with us as a carer:

If you do not want to register online, please pick up the form at reception and complete it there.


Help for Carers Leaflet

It is important to let us know if you are a Carer for one of our patients.

Sometimes when people are looking after someone they can get tired or frustrated and would like to know that there is someone outside the family who might understand and can help them. If we know that you are a main carer, we can offer you that help.
