Support for Families and Carers
“We work not only to help people resolve practical problems, but also to encourage them to understand and to withstand the social and emotional changes and the many personal distresses that inevitably accompany illness and dying.”
We recognise that families, carers and patients are ‘in it together', but different people will be affected differently by the illness. Each person is likely to have particular worries and concerns. The Social Care Team works to give realistic and effective support to each family member. We aim to encourage each person and each family to clarify any worries or difficulties and to find strategies for managing.
