Carers – information to support you

A carer is anyone who helps to care for a friend or family member (usually unpaid) who due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction, cannot cope without their support. 

We recognise the invaluable contribution that carers make to support patients visiting or staying in our hospitals and we are keen to establish a partnership approach between our people and family carers to help support loved ones.

Inpatient comment:

Everyone offered words of such reassurance and kindness. I felt so cared for and the communication with me at all times was fantastic.
