Carers in Norfolk and Waveney

Carers in Norfolk and Waveney – Support and Information

Unpaid Carers of all ages play a vital role in keeping people safe and well at home who would otherwise need ongoing care from local services. Local and national data consistently shows that caring can have a significant negative impact on Carers’ own health and wellbeing. You can learn more about how we work with Carers here.

All GP practices have a carers’ register – a list of patients who are providing unpaid care to someone with a long-term health condition. If your practice knows that you are an unpaid carer they can offer you support. Carers UK have information about ‘Talking to you GP’ which includes a template letter to help you contact your practice.
