9. The conversation

Carers Week

As we have seen over the past months, a little gratitude goes a long way. It’s important to thank NHS staff for the amazing care we receive every day of the year, and equally important to recognise the incredible work of unpaid carers. Carers Week highlights the challenges unpaid carers face, and recognises the contribution they make to families and communities across the country.
