Learn about carers’ rights

In carers' own words

We're working on a series of self-filmed videos by carers describing their day-to-day lives, as well as their experiences of working with health and social care professionals.

Meredydd talks about life as an unpaid carer, and what he'd like from his interactions with health and social care professionals.

Involving Carers in Hospital Discharge

A person who is cared for may sometimes need admission to hospital. Unpaid carers who provide care at home need to be involved from admission onwards and kept updated about discharge plans.

We have worked with carers and NHS staff to develop two sets of guidance:
- policy guide for NHS service planners 
- practical guide for frontline clinical staff 

Resources for community pharmacies

Pharmacists and pharmacy staff are in a unique position to identify carers. At the heart of communities and often developing supportive relationships with regular customers. See our resources for pharmacies that include videos, a guide and checklist for staff, and a poster for display to the public.
