South Devon Carers' Consortium

"Identifies, values, supports and promotes carers"

Carers' Support in GP Practices

An initiative to raise awareness, identify carers and improve information and support within Primary Health Care Teams

South Devon Carers' Consortium is involved in supporting a group of Carers' Support Workers. Following a long history of development, the majority of GP Practices in Torbay now have dedicated staff time (funded by Torbay Social Services and Primary Care Trust) to provide information and support to their identified carers.

A report is available from an independent evaluation of the earlier stages of this development. Contact us to request one.

The 'Think Carer' Project

A campaign to raise awareness of carers' issues

South Devon Carers' Consortium has a touring exhibition, with information leaflets, designed to be displayed in public places and at special events. We will be pleased to bring it to any events you may be involved with, where carers may be present.

We can supply smaller Carers' Information Boards for public places. These are colourful, professionally-produced, 'poster-style' boards with integral leaflet dispensers, designed to help people identify themselves and others as carers, and signpost them to the right sources of help.

We also have Carers' Leaflet Dispensers in most of the Post Offices across South Devon.

Contact us for further information about any of the above.
