Carers Information

Hands

At Park and Thorntree Surgeries, we are currently working towards becoming a Carer Friendly Practice.

Our aim is to recognise and support carers registered with our practices by providing the appropriate help, information, and care.

If you help look after someone who could not manage without your support—whether they are a family member, partner, friend, or neighbour—you may be considered a carer.

If this applies to you, please ask at reception for a Carer Registration Form. Once completed, this can be added to your medical record so that we can better understand your role and offer any additional support or services you may need.

Cooker

The simple safety device is fitted to existing gas cooker pipework. When the valve is locked, the gas supply to the cooker is stopped. This eliminates the risk of the cooker being unintentionally turned on or left on, and gives peace of mind to the carer or relative that the cooker can’t be used when they leave the house or the room.
