Care Planning

​

All Carers are invited to arrange an appointment at the practice for Care Planning which is a holistic discussion about different aspects of a patient’s care (not just their health concerns). If you haven’t received an invitation for this, please do contact us.

​

This year Carers Week is 5th to 11th June 2023.

 

In recognition of the importance of carers, Cavendish Health Centre has made this pledge:-

“To put in place systems to identify carers, proactively connect them to support with their own health and wellbeing, and ensure carers have the information they need to care safely and well.

To offer flexible appointments and services that fit around caring responsibilities.

To support our staff and colleagues who are also carers to get connected to information and support.

To respect and value unpaid carers’ expertise on the needs and preferences of the person they care for."

​

We will continue to try to identify carers by having  information for carers in our waiting room and on our website. We have added a news item about carers on our website and also our Google listing. There is also a question aimed at identifying carers on our new patient registration form.”
