Partners in Care Training

Carers often come into contact with Health Care professionals who are involved in the treatment of the person who they care for. We run workshops as part of the NHS Fife Carer Information Strategy to help Health Care professionals understand the difficulties that carers may face in all aspects of their lives and the legislation and policies in place to help carers sustain their role.

The Workshop is aimed at: Health Professionals and Medical Centre staff in contact with people who require ongoing care and their carers.
