In health services this includes: not being identified as a carer; where identified, the information not being recorded on the patient record; not being offered support nor told about what support is available; lack of recognition of the expertise often held by carers; insufficient or poorly-timed communication from services especially in transition stages. Improving support for carers in health and social care is a key strategic priority for Carers Trust.
