If you are a carer or have a carer they may be entitled to support including financial help. In the first instance please let the surgery know so we can update our records as we keep a register of patients and their carer. Since the Care Act 2016 almost all carers are entitled to an assessment where previously there were restrictions. Please make the most of this entitlement. Please complete an online application form to be assessed by Liverpool City Council. It’s really straightforward and we want to ensure you are supported for your hard work and sacrifices in looking after your loved one. If you have any difficultly in doing this and unsure don’t hesitate to speak to our practice staff who are trained in supporting you with this.
Support Services For Carers
We recognise that carers need support to be able to help the patient especially at difficult times especially when the carer is a relative.
