Today I have been on the receiving end of praise and also given praise to someone else. I don't think this happens often enough in the NHS and today has really reminded me how important and encouraging positive feedback can be for colleagues 😊

In April we carried out a survey with 1000 carers, here are some results.

Once Pete, who cares for his wife, was referred to Carers first, he finally felt the recognition he needed and now attends our events having some time to himself.

Access to support services is vital for unpaid carers

Our Adult Carer Survey found that many unpaid carers could not access support due to not receiving an assessment

Next week, #CarersWeek charities will be releasing new research on areas unpaid carers can be better supported
