Are you caring for someone?
Do you look after someone who is ill, frail, disabled or mentally ill?
Our Practice is interested in identifying carers, especially those people who may be caring without help or support
We know that carers are often ‘hidden’ looking after a family member or helping a friend or neighbour with day to day tasks and may not see themselves as a carer.
If you are a carer please let our Reception Team know. We can offer you an annual health check and referral to Sunderland Carers Association for support and advice.
Do you look after someone who has been diagnosed with dementia?
See Essence Service website for help and support.

Sunderland Carers Centre Newsletters
Non-urgent advice: A message from the CEO…
Welcome everyone to our second edition of the new look newsletter, what better way to share some of the excellent ways that the team have worked tirelessly to adapt working practices to ensure that we have been able to connect with as many families as possible throughout Sunderland.
As we cautiously move out of lockdown, we are working hard behind the scenes to plan safe accessible support, interactive groups and activities for the months ahead, keep an eye on our social media, website and future newsletters for regular updates.
Please remember that although our building currently remains closed, we continue to offer a wide and varied range of support, information advice and guidance services as well as some fun activities and opportunities to connect.
