Free Health Checks for Carers
When looking after someone else, it’s very easy to neglect your own well-being and ignore symptoms of physical and emotional ill health, so this is an opportunity for you to come and have a thorough check up.
Call to book an appointment with one of our nurses and mention it is for a carers health check so the receptionist will allocate you a 20 min slot.Carers UK
They’re here to make sure that no matter how complicated your query or your experience, you don’t have to care alone.
