What are my rights for accessing NHS services as a carer?

As a carer, you have specific rights when accessing NHS services. You are entitled to receive support that helps you in your caring role, which may include access to health services for yourself as well as the person you care for. You also have the right to an assessment of your needs, which can help determine what support you require. Additionally, many NHS services provide information and resources specifically for carers. It’s important to communicate your role as a carer to your healthcare provider so they can assist you appropriately.
