Elderly and Care Services
The Family Practice was amongst the first practices in the UK to set up a patients’ association 30 years ago.
The association continues to organise three very useful practice services:
- The Volunteer Driver Scheme - this scheme helps people who have difficulty accessing public transport, it exists solely on the back of goodwill and donations.
- The Monday Lunch Club - mainly targeted at the isolated elderly, the Monday Lunch club enables patients to meet and socialise with each other over soup and sandwiches. Transport is provided. Please contact the Practice Manager for further details or to contribute to this service.
- RSVP – Retired and Senior Volunteer Programme is a volunteering programme that specialises in engaging volunteers aged 50+ to become active in their community. Volunteers can offer companionship to the lonely and isolated patients at our surgery. They can offer company, run small errands and engage the patient in suitable activity’s in the local neighbourhood.
Support for carers
A carer is someone who looks after a partner, relative or friend to help them to stay living at home.
As a carer you could get help so that you can look after your own wellbeing while caring for someone else.
