Carers

Are you looking after or providing support for a relative friend or neighbour? Are you being helped or supported by a relative friend or neighbour?

Your GP needs to know so you can be offered the right information, support and access to services. GP surgeries have to compile information for the government about the numbers of carers attached to the surgery so your information will help them to do this.

Please complete the online form here to let us know you are a carer.

Further help

There is more information about help with day-to-day living because of illness or disability on the NHS website.

For further information or assistance, please contact the Carers Support Team on 01942 705959 or visit their website www.wiganandleighcarerscentre.org.uk
