British medical association Carers handbook

Came across this today when I popped into the library for a few mins to return a book of my daughters.
It looks very readable with lots of good information and lots of pictures.
I will try to find time to read it over the weekend.
It was published last month.

Well I picked it up from the library today and cannot believe that they do not mention the Carers Trust only CUK
not once do they mention the internet for carers
I am glad I didnt buy the book

[Honey]

I think its an information book published mainly to help people who are new to caring.
It is a good book for new carers searching for information.

How could they miss out The Carers Trust and include CUK ?

the book is ok, if you get it from the library, but not worth all that money.
The Selfish Pigs guide is much better.

They are useless!!!The Selfish Pig's Guide is brilliant

Selfish Pig is a great book... I also have another called "Now Where Did I Put My Glasses?" which is about looking after elderly parents

I'll look out for that one Liz - not seen it

Hi, not saw this book but I do still  dip in-and-out of the Selfish Pigs Guide to Caring - even after all these years. I don't know quite what exactly draws me back but I find it so very comforting especially when times are a bit difficult.
