Working closely with our Health Liaison Officer, Stokenchurch Medical Centre was keen to identify carers at their practice. They have now nominated a carers’ lead, held two information days for carers at the practice and have now formed a carers’ support group which had over 20 carers attending its first meeting and which now meets regularly.
Marlow Medical Group have held an information event for carers and two more are planned. Together with Carers Bucks they have developed forms for the identification and referral of carers and a carer’s medical record access form which they are happy to share with other surgeries (see links above). They have also developed a specific area on their website for carers with links to Carers Bucks and information of forthcoming events for carers.
Hughenden Valley Surgery has hosted Carers’ Clinics where carers can receive a health check and face-to-face support from a member of Carers Bucks’ staff.
