  • Recognition of the carer role
  • Identifying and supporting carer needs
  • Involving the carer in patient care
  • Additional challenges for carers and patients during COVID-19
  • Case studies and Q&A 

Learning outcomes:

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • Identify and support carers needs
  • Demonstrate how to involve the carer in patient care
