Are you supporting someone with dementia? 💙

This Carers Week, we're sharing information and resources to help you in your caring role.

Registering as a carer with your GP may give you access to additional support for your physical and mental health, and help you find local support groups or respite services.

Find out more about registering as a carer with your GP: https://www.dementiauk.org/information-and-support/looking-after-yourself-as-a-carer/the-importance-of-registering-as-a-carer-with-your-gp/?misc=social&utm_campaign=advice&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social
