Carers

ARE YOU A CARER?

If you are a carer, please let us know. We may be able to offer you more support.

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 (unregistered carer).

You can fill in our Carers Registration Form here: Spital Surgery Carers Registration Form then pass it in to us at the Surgery.

For more information on services in the area for carers see our Carers resource pack: Carer resource pack

There is a lot of support available locally; both from your GP surgery and also from various organisations on the Wirral. Please don’t hesitate to email to find out what is available to you in your local area.

It is important that you access any help or support you need, to ensure your own wellbeing as well as that of the person you care for.
