Local Solutions Carers Project, in partnership with the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospital Trust (RLBUHT) has established Carers Information Points within the main reception areas of the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals.

These Information Points are aimed at reaching the hundreds of people passing through the hospital doors to visit a friend or a relative; many of who are either carers themselves or indeed know the person who is the carer.

The hospitals are ideal locations to enable us to reach such individuals, who are referred to the information points where they receive immediate support and advice.

Trained volunteers many of whom have caring experience operate the information desks and provide carers and their dependants with information on accessing support services – i.e. welfare benefits agencies, respite care, Carers Emergency Card and equipment suppliers. They are also provided with details relating to discharge and follow up support through the Carers Home from Hospital Support Service click here for more information.

For further information on the service, or information about becoming a volunteer, please call Kathy Newton:
