CARERS CHAMPIONS
As part of our ongoing service to patients, Whitchurch Medical Centre has nominated Lisa Latner and Lesley Clarke as our Carers Champions.
This role allows patients who have the responsibility of caring for relatives, neighbours or friends to contact the practice in confidence, as well as a friendly first stage towards getting well-deserved recognition and assistance. It is important that carers are aware that this service is available for them. We strongly encourage carers to contact either Lisa or Lesley to discuss the help that is available.
You can access their website at: – Unpaid carers information
Lisa can be contacted on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at the Practice on 02920 629603
Lesley can be contacted Tuesday – Thursday on 02920 629601/02920 357601
VETERANS CHAMPIONS
The potential adverse impact of active military service on health and wellbeing has long been recognised with physical and psychological symptoms being commonly reported by veterans. The Armed Force Community, including veterans, should face no disadvantage in accessing health services. For further information either contact the Veterans Champions at the practice or the Cardiff and Vale Specialist Veterans Team on 029 2183 2261 or email admin.vnhsws&v@wales.nhs.uk
