You could be looking after a friend or relative of any age who through illness, disability or frailty is unable to manage without help. You may see it as part of your life or duty to care, but there may be times when you need information, advice or some extra help. Being a carer can affect your health. Doctors and nurses want to help but it's not always easy for them to remember to ask who is a carer: you can help them and yourself by filling in the card and handing in at your GP surgery. Many surgeries now have a register of carers. You can ask for appointment times which are more practical or convenient for your caring responsibilities.
