Carer Support
Do you look after or help to look after someone who couldn’t always manage without you?
Does someone rely on you? You could be helping with household tasks such as cleaning or cooking, administering medication, organising and transporting someone to medical appointments, providing personal care or providing emotional support.
You could be doing it once a day, a couple of times a week or all the time. There are no time limits to being a carer.
If you look after someone you love or care about, you may not consider yourself a carer. Caring is something we do as parents, partners, children, sisters, brothers and friends, often without question, or the need for a label.
To register as a carer, please complete the form below and hand in at Fisherton House or you can email it to us: bswicb.smp@nhs.net
If you are aged under 18 - visit our Young Carer Support page here.
Practice Support
- We host a monthly Carers Cafe, for anyone to drop in for a cup of tea with other carers and Salisbury's Carers Champion, Helen Dowse. This takes place on 1st Tuesday of every month between 10am - 11.30am at Fisherton House, Salisbury Medical Practice.
- If you need any further information, please telephone the surgery to speak to our Social Prescriber: Jo Baldwin.

- A Carer Assessment is for carers over 18 years old who are looking after another adult over 18 years old who is disabled, ill or elderly. It is an opportunity to record the impact caring has on your life and what support or services you need. The assessment will look at for example, physical, mental and emotional needs, and whether you are able or willing to carry on caring.
