Celebrating succes for the Carers project!

Congratulations to the Carers Team and all staff and GP's on a tremendous achievement in the second phase of the Devon Carers Project. This has been a tremendous team effort and every member of the Practice has played a part in some way.

• Final number of checks achieved 200(201?) exceeding our target of 194 and achieving a bonus payment for reaching target.


• PK's weekly drop-in sessions since January have been well received.


• Number of recorded Carers has risen from 192 last November to a final total of 303.


• Many of our patients have benefited significantly from being identified as Carers, and have taken advantage of the support and guidance that has been offered.

We have been very fortunate here in Ottery to have been supported and inspired by one of our GP's who is lead GP for the Devon Carers Project. This has had a huge impact on the acceptance and support for Carers amongst GP's and staff in East Devon, and particularly in this Practice.
