Has any family carers aware of your hospital name calling all family carers :informal carers: and all paid agency staff :carers: I find this highly offensive and i pointed this out at a meeting and told them family carers are paid carers at £10.95 a day.There reply was it is national.!!!!!
A copy of the document below:
Informal carers such as family members are not expected to provide the ‘main support’ during a hospital stay although may be happy to remain involved and partnerships in care should be encouraged.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
