Are You a Carer?
You may be a Carer if you provide help and support to a relative or friend who could not manage without your help due to physical or mental illness, disability, frailty or addiction.
Carers can support with a variety of different tasks such as: housework, personal care, paying bills, administering medication, managing appointments and providing emotional support
If you are a Carer, it is important to look after your own health as well as the person you care for. The surgery wants to help you stay as healthy and as informed as possible.

Carers Assessments
Anyone who is a carer is entitled to a Carers Assessment. It’s a chance to discuss the help and support available.
To arrange a Carers Assessment you can contact the local Carers Support Centre or Care Direct (Bristol City Council).
Carers Emergency Card
If you have an accident or are taken seriously ill, carrying this card will ensure the person you care for will be kept safe. Carers Emergency Card is a free service for Carers. The card states the Carer’s name, unique identification number and an emergency telephone number. If a Carer has an accident or is taken seriously ill, the card can be used to alert a 24-hour Emergency Call Centre that the person you care for needs help.
