This is a time of major changes: the fundamental restructuring of the NHS and the launch of GP commissioning, the introduction of the Universal Credit and replacement of Disability Living Allowance, as well as the recent refresh of the National Carers Strategy and Commission on the Funding of Care and Support reporting in 2011.
This changing landscape means there has never been a more important time to:
- know what health reform means for carers
- be kept up to date with welfare reform and
- get the latest news on the Government's plans for social care.
In a busy job it can be hard to keep up with the latest changes affecting carers. Carers UK Affiliate Membership will put you at the forefront of the carers’ agenda.
With timely information, useful commentary and valuable insight, Carers UK Affiliate Membership will prove an important tool on carer related issues.
