Are you a Carer?
If you are looking after someone who couldn’t cope without your help, we really would like you to let us know, so that we can ensure you receive all the support and information we can give. A carer is anyone who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction cannot cope without their support. You are a Young Carer if you are under 18 in this role.
You can be added to the practice ‘carer register’ and gain access to information and support. This includes access to a named Carer Champion.
A Carer Champion is a staff member at your practice who support carers.
The Carer’s Champion at this practice is Nikki Stewart

A carer is anyone, including children and adults who looks after a family member, partner or friend who needs help because of their illness, frailty, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction and cannot cope without their support. The care they give is unpaid.
Carers Space Notts is an initiative designed as a joint venture by Nottinghamshire County Council, the NHS, Nottinghamshire Carers Association, and unpaid carers themselves. The project aims to bring carers and professionals from health, social care, and other associated fields together in one place so that they can mutually benefit from the sharing of knowledge, insight, and experiences.
