There is lots of support and advice available for carers. If you are looking after or providing care for a relative, child or friend, then you can find more information about what you can do as a carer below.
If you are looking to become a carer or to support a relative, friend or neighbour, then their GP needs to know so you can be offered the right information.
Our surgery has to collect information for the Government about the numbers of carers attached to the surgery, so your information will help us to do this.
If you are an unpaid carer who provides care and support to a partner, relative, friend or neighbour who wouldn’t be able to get by on their own, please let one of our Patient Service Coordinators know.
There is support available for you that you may not have known about. Once you have informed us, please sign up with Devon Carers who have a variety of different benefits that you may be interested in.
Please call our Helpline: 03456 434 435 to speak to our Advice Team, who will be able to register you over the telephone.
In partnership with national charity Carers UK, NHS England is offering free access to Carers UK Digital Resource for Carers, an online platform that hosts information and advice for carers to help them build resilience in their caring role.
