Patford House Partnership recognises the vital work unpaid carers do to alleviate pressure on the NHS and enhance the care we can provide to patients. With this in mind we put great emphasis in supporting our patients who are carers. A carer is someone who without payment, provides help and support to a partner, child, relative, friend or neighbour who could not manage without their help. This could be due to age, physical or mental illness, substance misuse, eating disorder or disability. 

If you are caring for someone or being cared by someone please make your GP or Reception aware of this fact so that we can update your records. We have patient consent forms which can be completed for patients and their carers to make things like getting blood test results and ordering repeat medication easier.
