This category concerns programmes focussing on Caregivers, Friends, and Family needs – emotional, physical, educational, and spiritual. Case Studies show that Carers, Friends and Families provide a huge resource that is often overlooked, which can leave them feeling unrecognised and dejected and can have a phenomenal effect on the experience of care.
If you have some examples of how you have improved your support for caregivers, friends or family, then this is the category for you. What better way to acknowledge the great work of your team, share your successful practice and gain recognition for the superb initiatives you have implemented?
Potential participants could involve all providers of care, including but not limited to:
3rd Party Organisations
Voluntary Sector
Support Groups
Care Homes
Social Care
