Impact Stories
We are producing a series of impact stories to highlight different local approaches and demonstrate the value of identifying, involving and supporting unpaid carers across a wide range of health services. We hope you will find these useful in developing your own approach to improving carer involvement in your area of work.
- Involving carers at the Scottish Liver Transplant Unit (Edinburgh Health & Social Care Partnership)
- Friendly Faces initiative: Involving carers throughout an orthopaedic pathway (NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde)
- Embedding carer support in the hospital discharge hub (Fife Health & Social Care Partnership)
- Putting the carer voice at the centre of the design and delivery of alcohol, drug and homeless services (Reducing Harm, Improving Care)
- Working in partnership to identify and support carers from point of diagnosis (West Lothian Dementia Services)
We are continuing to capture and share learning from approaches to involve carers across health settings. If you would like to share information about an activity in your area and produce an impact story with us, please contact: his.unpaidcarers@nhs.scot
