Carers

ARE YOU A CARER?

Do you care for a family member or a friend on a voluntary basis? Text CARER to 87007 for free confidential information, advice and support from the Wirral Carers Health and Wellbeing Service.

Be sure to inform a member of Sunlight Group Practice that you are a carer so that you can be added to our carers register.

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.

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.
