We are currently offering our face to face training sessions via zoom, where professionals can come and learn more about carers and the support available for unpaid carers across the city. This will increase your understanding of carers, their role and its effect on their lives.
It is an opportunity to explore how we as professionals or employers can help to identify carers early; recognise carers as partners in care; and help carers to maintain their own health and wellbeing.
The session will include a presentation, share information around current carer issues (such as Covid-19/isolation), engage in discussions, a quiz and share links to carer films on YouTube. One of our volunteer Carer Champions will share experiences of being a carer.
Courses will run regularly throughout the year.
Contact to book: sam.varo@nhs.net or 01904 551 773
All sessions are currently taking place on Zoom so will require a suitable device and internet connection.

What we eat and how well we digest our food has a significant impact on our energy levels, mood, mental focus, behaviour and overall quality of life.
The more we know and the better we can interpret our body’s many signals, the sooner we can take appropriate steps to support our bodies in staying well.
With that in mind we’re delighted to be offering Let’s Talk About Food; four free sessions on nutrition for carers with nutritionist Sabine Horner from Asana Nutrition.
What will the sessions be like?
Each session is stand alone so you can join for just one, or for all four.
Sessions will be informative, interactive, and will include opportunities to ask questions and experience some quick recipes through cooking demonstrations.
