I have a carer who acts on my behalf, what do I do?
Are you looking after or providing support for a relative friend or neighbour? Are you being helped or supported by a relative friend or neighbour?
If you care for a patient registered with us or have a carer please provide us with contact details. If these details or circumstances change please let us know at your earliest convenience to enable us to keep our records up to date.
Your GP needs to know so you can be offered the right information, support and access to services. GP surgeries have to compile information for the government about the numbers of carers attached to the surgery so your information will help them to do this.
There is more information about help with day-to-day living because of illness or disability on the NHS website.
West Cumbria Carers provide free local help and support services, please click here to find out more.
