Support for staff and carers in hospital

We can:

  • provide help, support and advice to carers through their hospital journey as a carer and/ or patient, working directly on hospital wards
  • liaise between the discharge team, busy ward staff and a carer and their family
  • support staff to implement the Carers Charter that your Trust has signed up for
  • support staff in their ‘partners in care’ work
  • provide carer awareness training to staff

Anyone can make a referral to our team, including:

  • hospital health professionals
  • GPs
  • social workers
  • carers
  • family members

Please ensure that you obtain the consent of the carer before you contact us with their details, as we cannot follow up on a referral without this.

We can be contacted by using the contact form, or by telephone:

Rachael Quarry (Monday – Wednesday, 8-4pm) – 0117 4350 188 or 0773 1622 698

Carers Charter

We work in University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust and North Bristol NHS Trust, helping implement their Carers Strategy.

A joint Carers Charter has been agreed upon with the two Trusts, outlining their commitment to support and work in partnership with carers.
