Improving Communication
In 2011 we worked with the Vountary Sector to produce a Consent to Share Information form that patients could choose to complete giving permission for the voluntary sector group to share basic information with the patient's GP about the services they were receiving. This helps GPs to build up a holistic picture of everyone who is involved with a patient.

Scarborough & Ryedale Carers Resource
Do you look after someone at home? Maybe they need your support due to disability, long-term illness, mental health problems or the effects of old age or substance misuse. If you provide regular care or support to a relative or friend who couldn’t manage without your help, you are a carer. Scarborough & Ryedale Carers Resource works with all individuals who have a caring role for an adult or child and provide a range of services. Contact them to find out what they can offer you.
