Supporting Carers

At John Hampden Surgery, we recognise the important role carers play in supporting family members, friends and loved ones. We are committed to identifying and supporting carers to ensure they receive the help, information and recognition they deserve.

 Our Carers Champion

Our dedicated Carers Champion, Jenny, supports carers within the practice by offering guidance, reassurance and signposting to local services and support networks.

Jenny works to ensure carers feel recognised, listened to and supported when accessing healthcare services.

 Are You a Carer?

A carer is anyone who provides unpaid support to a family member, partner or friend who could not manage without help due to illness, disability, mental health needs or age.

If this sounds like you, please contact the surgery — we are here to help.
