A career is anyone who provides care or support to a partner, child, family member, friend, or neighbor who is unable to manage without help due to illness or disability.

Many people do not see themselves as careers, but if you regularly support someone in this way, you are entitled to support and guidance.

Balancing caring responsibilities with your own well-being can be challenging. That’s why it’s important to take time for yourself and access the available support services.

We work closely with local organizations, including Brent Careers Centre, to connect careers with the right support:

Carer registration with the practice — Let us know you’re a carer so we can record this on your medical record and tailor your support.
Referral to Brent Carers Centre — Access to free advice, benefits guidance, counselling, and carer support services.
Health checks and vaccinations for carers — Prioritised access to flu vaccines and health checks to support your wellbeing.
Carers’ assessments — Support with arranging a formal assessment through the local authority to identify your needs as a carer.
Signposting to respite care — Help finding short breaks or respite options when you need rest or support.

When you let us know you’re a career, we’ll take the time to understand your situation and connect you with relevant support services:

Discussion of your caring role — A confidential conversation about who you care for and how this impacts your daily life.
Review of your health and wellbeing — We’ll check in on your physical and mental health needs as a carer.
Support options explained — Information about local services, entitlements, and resources to help make your role more manageable.
Referral or signposting — We’ll connect you to the Brent Careers Centre or other appropriate services depending on your needs

Please ensure you are a registered patient with us, before booking your appointment.
