Carer support

Carers play a vital role in providing care to ill, frail or disabled family members, friends or partners. The care they provide is unpaid.

If you are a carer, you are not alone - every day six thousand people take on a caring responsibility.

The Northern Health and Social Care Trust in partnership with Carers NI have developed an A-Z guide to support them in that role.

A Directory of Training Opportunities
for 2010 has also been developed to assist and support carers by providing information and teaching practical skills to support carers within their role.
