Carlisle Carers Association

Carers Week 2012 from 18 to 24 June 2012. The theme this year is "In sickness and in health”. We are asking carers how your caring role impacts on your health and wellbeing. Are you worried that the cuts to services from statutory agencies and government bodies will make you shoulder more of the burden? Are you already feeling the effects of the cuts to local services, if so we are keen to hear how its affecting your life.

We are writing our Quality Strategy for 2012-14. Through the Quality Strategy we will identify ways of improving the services we provide for our patients. We all want to help make our services better. The 1000 Voices campaign is about allowing you, our service users, members, governors, staff to share your ideas about what you think we should be doing. If you have used our health services and think you could give suggestions of how we could improve them please fill in our 1000 Voices survey and get your voice heard.
