At Park Royal Medical Practice we recognise the crucial role that carers play in supporting their loved ones. That’s why we have developed a comprehensive approach to identifying and supporting carers, ensuring that their health and wellbeing are prioritised alongside their caregiving responsibilities.
If you are a carer or know someone who is, please inform us. We offer a dedicated carer support service, facilitated by our social prescribers and health and wellbeing coaches, who can assist you on your caregiving journey.

Our Commitment to Carers includes creating a supportive environment, promoting positive wellbeing, preventing crises and family breakdown, and addressing inequalities. We have appointed Dr Ishani Patel as the strategic lead for carers and our Carers Lead/Champion. Our practice has dedicated Social Prescribers and a Health and Wellbeing coach who provide health and wellbeing assessments tailored to carers’ needs, with flexible scheduling options to accommodate their caregiving responsibilities. We provide comprehensive information and signposting both within our practice and through partnerships with local carer organisations, social services, and the voluntary sector. Our staff undergo regular carers’ awareness training to better understand and support the needs of carers within our community. Together, we can ensure that carers receive the recognition, support, and care they deserve.
We work closely with a range of health and social care providers, including Brent Carers Centre, and others, to ensure seamless support for carers.
Brent Carers Centre is an independent charity and company limited by guarantee. The Centre has been supporting unpaid adult and young carers since 1994. Their vision is “To ensure that unpaid carers are recognised, valued, and supported to live rather than just exist.” Brent Carers Centre delivers a holistic range of support services to address the social, emotional, and financial challenges that carers face.
For young carers, the Just Talk Service provides a confidential space to discuss their feelings and offers support, tips, and solutions to help manage their circumstances. Experienced counsellors are available over the phone or in person.
We also recommend that carers receive their annual influenza vaccination.
