New Approaches to Supporting Carers’ Health and Well-being
This report, ‘New Approaches to Supporting Carers’ Health and Well-being’, presents the findings of an independent evaluation of the National Carers’ Strategy Demonstrator Sites programme. It was funded by the Department of Health who commissioned CIRCLE, University of Leeds to undertake the evaluation of 25 demonstrator sites around the country. These sites either developed new and innovative services for carers or extended existing provision where effective arrangements were already in place.

Mind’s endorsement came on the day it published a report which campaigners claimed gave further support to their case.

NHS Self Care Week.
West Midlands Ambulance Service is backing a campaign by the NHS which encourages the public to take control of their own health and wellbeing.
The primary focus of ‘Self Care Week’ is on the public, people with long term conditions and their carers, which is a key area of work for the ambulance service. By making sure people are prepared, there is a significant potential to reduce the number of 999 calls and help keep hospital admissions down.
