Definition of a carer:

Individuals irrespective of age, who provide or supervise a substantial amount of care on a regular basis of a child, relative, partner or neighbour who is unable to manage on their own due to illness, disability, frailty, mental distress or impairment.

The definition is quite wide- ranging if you are unsure whether you are a Carer or not please ask to speak to Julie the Assistant Practice Manager who coordinates the  carers register here at the practice.
