South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust has launched a Trust Carer’s Charter to recognise the important role that carers have in supporting the lives of those who use the Trust’s services, whatever their age.

The Trust recognises that caring can be rewarding but stressful, and it wants to assure carers that they will have the support needed. Information about the Charter can be found on the South West London and St George’s website under latest news. Click here and scroll down to the entry from 24th August. Within the article is a link to patient information leaflets, including one for carers, families and friends, which can be downloaded from the site.
