In the UK there are 6 million people in the caring role. Over half of carers have suffered a stress related disorder as a result of caring. Carers can suffer ill health, missing appointments with their GP, often due to the fact that they care for someone in their home who is a permanent drain on their health. They may find that they neglect their own health, putting their own lives at risk. 33% of carers say they haven’t had a break in the last two years. Have your blood pressure checked, come and talk to us about YOU, your situation and your future, identifying health worries before they become serious. A carer from Shepway commented – “The health check I had done has saved my life. The nurse identified a health problem and I was told to see the Doctor ASAP and was admitted to hospital for treatment. I had not had the chance to visit my doctor due to my caring role – I owe my life to Carers’ Support”.In the UK there are 6 million people in the caring role.
