Helping highlight carers’ challenges on BBC show

Dr Nicky Wilson (GP champion) and Eve Butler (Patient Champion for Carers) were excited to record with Dom Cotter for BBC Gloucestershire today.

The show is to highlight the difficulties carers face and encouraging them to register as a carer with the practice so that we can support their physical and mental health.

The first Aspen Carers’ Support Group will be running on Wednesday, November 13, in collaboration with Gloucestershire Carers Hub. This will be a chance to share stories and support each other. It will also be an opportunity to learn more about the support out there for Carers around finances, accessing emergency care and social services support.

Meet us in the top floor meeting room at Aspen Medical Practice from 10:30-12:30 for coffee, tea and cake. This will be an informal friendly gathering which we will aim to have monthly.
