What should I know about accessing NHS services as a carer?
South Asian Health — NHS Navigation — Your Rights5 July 2026
As a carer, you have specific rights and access to NHS services to support both you and the person you care for. You are entitled to ask for a carer's assessment, which evaluates your needs and provides information about available resources. You can also access support services, training, and respite care. It's important to communicate your status as a carer to your healthcare provider so they can offer you the appropriate support and resources. Don't hesitate to seek help; your well-being is essential.
