Practical Advice to help Family Doctors Support Carers

The Princess Royal Trust for Carers and the RCGP have teamed up to launch a self-assessment toolkit for Primary Care Teams. It is designed to help them pool knowledge/skills and build on existing good practice; put in place systems for identifying carers at the earliest possible stage; and share good practice with colleagues nationally. It comprises chapters on developing an action plan; case studies; and sources of further information.
