The aim of this project is to contribute to the well being of carers in Brent by working in partnership with primary care health professionals.

- The development workers’ work with primary health care professionals:

This involves working in primary care settings such as GP practices and other primary care health professionals to enable them to support carers and to refer them to relevant services and sources of support including Brent Carers Centre. They also represent the needs of carers at various meetings and events to ensure that they are taken into account in the planning and delivery of services.

Work with carers:

This includes offering information, advice and emotional support to the carers referred to Brent Carers Centre through primary care, organising training courses to assist them in their caring role and help them maintain their own health.
