How can a GP Practice raise awareness of caring roles?
This case study explores how a local GP Practice decided to be more proactive in identifying people on their register who were responsible for caring for others, because many of them don't identify as a carer.
Summary
In April 2019, 10,267 people were registered with Hillside GP Practice, but only 227 were registered as carers. As a result, the Practice decided to be more proactive in the identification of people on their register who had the responsibility of caring for others. This was because lots of people don’t identify as being a carer.
Hillside GP Practice launched a campaign to raise awareness, and produced a booklet named 'Caring for Carers', to help people identify as carers, as well as holding a Carers' Day at the Practice.
