A North East and Yorkshire and North West Region Experience of Care Lunch and Learn

'Identifying and supporting unpaid carers in England to improve integrated system working'

This new resource from the Carers Partnership supports health and care professionals in England to improve the inclusion, support, and involvement of unpaid carers across all NHS and social care settings, in turn reducing the health inequalities that many carers face.

The resource that the session will address brings together statutory duties and best-practice resources and has been developed by the Carers Partnership over the past three years to help health and care professionals to support unpaid carers on the following issues:

The resource has been developed by the Carers Partnership (Carers UK and Carers Trust) as part of the Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) Health and Wellbeing Alliance, with the input of unpaid carers, professionals working in health and social care, virtual wards leaders, local carers’ organisations, and local authorities, along with colleagues at NHS England and the Department of Health and Social Care.
