Carer Support

Do you look after or help to look after someone who couldn’t always manage without you?

Does someone rely on you?  You could be helping with household tasks such as cleaning or cooking, administering medication, organising and transporting someone to medical appointments, providing personal care or providing emotional support.

You could be doing it once a day, a couple of times a week or all the time. There are no time limits to being a carer.

If you look after someone you love or care about, you may not consider yourself a carer. Caring is something we do as parents, partners, children, sisters, brothers and friends, often without question, or the need for a label.

 

To register as a carer, please complete the form below and hand in at Fisherton House or you can email it to us: bswicb.smp@nhs.net
