Our Senior Nurse for Patient Experience, Vicki Drummond, is asking colleagues to promote the support on offer for unpaid carers. There is a dedicated information space near the Outpatient check-in area at HRI, where Vicki is pictured.

Vicki said: “Please encourage unpaid carers, who could include you, could be your colleagues, visitors or patients to use the secure pink postbox to refer to Carers Count who provide expert support and advice. Referral forms are available next to the postbox."

Unpaid carers can also refer themselves to Carers Count for support via email or phone:

Extra postboxes will be available at CRH and the Discharge Lounge at HRI shortly.
