Are you being cared for? Have you notified your GP? Do you know what services are available to support you?<\/p>\n<p>Please contact us to notify us if you are a carer or being cared for and we will update your records.<\/p>\n<p>The practice maintains a register of carers and people being cared for. If you feel you should be on this register please let us know.<\/p>\n<p>We are not able to offer any specific help ourselves, but it is helpful for us to know that you have this additional responsibility to cope with and we are able to signpost you to organisations who can help. Also as a carer you may be entitled to additional health services such as vaccinations, so it is important that we have you registered as a carer on our clinical system so that you don\u2019t miss any invitations.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions or not sure if you should be listed as a carer, please contact the practice via our email address <strong>sxicb-wsx.selsey-selsey@nhs.net<\/strong> or you can call us on <strong>01243 60820<\/strong>1 and we will be happy to advise.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Carers UK<\/h3>\n<p>They\u2019re here to make sure that no matter how complicated your query or your experience, you don\u2019t have to care alone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Telephone: 020 7378 4999<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carersuk.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CarersUK<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Useful Links<\/h3>\n<p>There is a wealth of information on the\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NHS<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0website about carers and caring.
