Carers

Are You a Carer?

It is important that we know if you are a carer so that we can make sure you receive information, services and the help that is available.

• Do you look after someone who is sick, disabled or elderly/frail?
• Would they struggle to live in their home without your help?
• Are they a parent, child, partner, relative, friend or neighbour?
• Are you – or is someone you know providing much-needed care for a loved one?
• Are you unpaid and acting voluntarily?
• Are you juggling work alongside your caring role?

If so, you are a carer and we would like to support you.

• We can provide you with up to date information on available support to make things easier.
• We can put you in touch with the Reading and West Berkshire Carers Hub who support carers on a day to day basis in a huge variety of ways, personal to your circumstances.
• As a carer you will be invited for an annual flu vaccination at the surgery.
• As a carer your health and well being is very important and you will be invited for a health check (if you haven’t had one in the last five years).

It is important that we know if you are a carer so that we can make sure you receive information, services and the help that is available. If you are a carer, please complete our register as a carer form.
