Caring for Others Starts with Caring for Yourself
We understand that while rewarding, caring for a family member or friend can be challenging and tiring. We’re here to provide you with the support to care for yourself and your loved ones.
How Towcester Medical Centre can help you…
- Inform us that you are a carer
- Ask about flexible appointments or at home visits if your caring responsibilities make it difficult to get into surgery
- We provide support for your physical and mental health
- We can provide referral to appropriate services, for example talking therapies and physiotherapy
- We can help you understand what benefits you may be entitled to as a carer
