Achieving recognition and support for carers: November 16th 2011 Conference Report
A recently published CIRCLE report, New Approaches to Supporting Carers’ Health and Well-being: Evidence from the National Carers’ Strategy Demonstrator Sites programme was launched at the "Achieving Recognition and Support for Carers‟ conference, which attracted over 180 delegates from across the UK.
The day, hosted by CIRCLE, University of Leeds, was chaired by Imelda Redmond CBE (pictured), Director of Public Affairs at Marie Curie Cancer Care.
Participants had an opportunity to hear the perspectives of national policy makers and leading practitioners in carer support. During an inspiring and successful day, delegates discussed many aspects of carer health and well-being support and raised issues in the round table discussions that were fed back to the Department of Health's 'Caring for Our Future' engagement process.
