Carers Support Service

In Darlington, the Carers Support Service (a member of Darlington Association on Disability) supports those people who are carers and we work with this Group by trying to identify which of our patients are carers.

We will ask your permission to mark your patient record accordingly. Please consider the options below:

• You are a carer and would like to record this on your patient record.
• You are a carer but do not want to mark your patient record with this information.
• You are a carer and would be happy for us to refer your details to the Carers Support Group, who may be able to offer me advice and support.
• You are a carer but do not wish to give your details to the Carers Support Group

Please contact us to update your records on 01325 461128

Our Surgery Carer representative is Kim Segger.

Carers Trust

Carers Trust is a major charity for, with and about carers. They work to improve support, services and recognition for anyone living with the challenges of caring, unpaid, for a family member or friend who is ill, frail, disabled or has mental health or addiction problems. Their vision is that unpaid carers count and can access the help they need to live their lives.
