DOCTOR surgeries in Newport and Crymych have been recognised for their commitment to helping carers.
The Preseli Peaks practices have achieved the Bronze Level in the Investors in Carers scheme in recognition of the support it provides to carers of any age who provide unpaid care for family, partners or friends in need of help because they are ill, frail, have mental health or substance misuse problems, or a disability.
Practice managers and staff attended initial training which covered carers’ issues, an overview of the scheme and an introduction to the Bronze level along with their evidence folders.
They were presented with their certificates during the opening of the Bro Preseli, Crymych’s new extra care facility earlier this month.
