Working with Adult Carers
Currently this section focuses on providing information and resources for health professionals working with carers. We will be expanding in 2008 to cover the social care sector.
Primary Care
Primary care is often the first point of contact for many carers in terms of identification and referral. Find out how to make your practice more carer-friendly.
Hospitals
The moment at which a patient is discharged from hospital can be crucial in terms of the identification and referral of carers. Find out how you can make the discharge process work most effectively for carers.
Health and Wellbeing
Carers are key partners in keeping patients out of hospital. They also suffer health effects from caring. Paying attention to carers can help the public health agenda.
Mental Health
In this section we provide specialist advice and information for mental health professionals, such as key services and the latest on legislation and guidance.
