This 60 minute webinar offers guidance and practical tips to strengthen carer identification, inclusion and support within general practice. Family and friend carers are at higher risk of poor health outcomes and frequently delay their own care while prioritising the needs of the person they support.
As a key point of contact, general practice plays a critical role in recognising carers early and providing interventions that improve health outcomes for both carers and the people they care for.
