Hello and welcome to the GP services section of this website

I am Lisa Steel, GP Liaison Officer, for Hartlepool Carers' Centre.
I will be working closely with GP surgeries and practice managers throughout Hartlepool, to identify carers within individual practices, helping to develop greater awareness of the role of the carer and the fantastic role they play in supporting friends, neighbours, relatives and children with disabilities.

The government has asked all GP surgeries to register all carers, as they recognise a carers' health may be affected by the stresses and strains of caring.

If you care for a friend, relative, neighbour or child who could not manage otherwise, because of disability, frailty or illness, please inform your GP practices reception team as soon as possible, to ensure they are aware of your caring responsibilities and to see what help, support and information there is available on issues connected with your caring role

The surgeries are compiling a list of all Carers’. This register will help surgeries to acknowledge your needs as a Carer and can provide you with further information, if required.

Please fill out your details below, or print a copy of the form to give to your reception staff. Download form Word Document | PDF
