If you would like to speak to a member of the surgery team to be recorded as a carer and gain helpful advice and information, call your surgery and let the reception team know

 

Or email us at NNICB-NN.VHG@NHS.NET

NHS Support

Head over to the NHS website by clicking here to get more information and help if you are a carer.

This link includes help with carers assessments, benefits for carers, respite  and young carers rights. 

If you have concerns about a friend or relatives health but do not have consent to discuss their medical records or are not their carer, you can still raise concerns with the GP but please be aware due to confidentiality the doctor will not be able to discuss details.
