Caring for You is a toolkit for adult Carers to use either individually, by support workers to carry out in sessions, or in peer-led support groups. The toolkit offers practical activities and tips to deal with specific emotions which can arise from having a caring role, as well as ideas on how to maintain a good overall wellbeing. You can view the toolkit via the Carers Trust website or by clicking the button below.
What is population screening? Population screening is where the NHS invites people to have a screening test when they reach a certain age in order to detect possible early signs of disease.
They may then be re-invited for screening at regular intervals until they reach the age limit for the screening programme.
The people invited for screening are apparently healthy, with no symptoms, but may have a higher chance of developing the disease.
If early signs of the disease are detected, then treatment can be offered sooner and there is a greater chance of being cured and/or surviving for a longer time.
