Hot off the press...
The NICE guidance on Supporting Adult
Carers for your information.
For more information please visit the web link https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng150.
This guideline covers support for adults (aged 18 and over) who provide unpaid care for anyone aged 16 or over with health or social care needs. It aims to improve the lives of carers by helping health and social care practitioners identify people who are caring for someone and give them the right information and support. It covers carers’ assessments, practical, emotional and social support and training, and support for carers providing end of life care.
This guideline covers general principles that apply to all adult carers. Recommendations about supporting carers of people with specific health needs can be found in NICE guidance on those conditions.
This guideline should be read together with the Care and support statutory guidance under the Care Act 2014 and the Children and Families Act 2014.
