Are you caring for someone who has a long-term health condition? If so, please let us know. We may be able to give you important help and advice. It would be useful if the Doctor knew that you are a carer, as it may affect your own health and treatment. You are also eligible to an annual free influenza vaccination. This practice has a lead worker for carers. Please ask at reception if you would like to talk to Penny, our lead carer. When you tell us that you are caring for someone we will place your details onto our carers register so that practice staff are aware you are a carer. We will not share this knowledge with anyone else without your specific consent. We may be able to offer you other services to help you care for your own health. If you are giving regular and substantial help to the person that you care for, you may be eligible for a Social Services Carers Assessment. Useful contact numbers:
