| Annotation | People caring for a relative are a vital part of the health and social care system, but many feel isolated. A national strategy aims to help by making general practitioners (GPs) and community services more carer friendly. This article refers to 'Care in the UK', a series of programmes on BBC Radio 4 in January 2008; and the report, 'Valuing carers: calculating the value of unpaid care', by researchers at the University of Leeds commissioned by Carers UK. The article also includes the stories of four carers. (RH). |
