Motherwell based GP, Dr Porte, from Modyrvale Medical Centre speaks to our team member Angela in our second episode. They discuss the current issues facing carers including the cost of living crisis, its impacts on mental health and the immediate need for caring to be being ‘visible, valued and supported’.

This frontline GP insight into supporting carers in a practice setting and working with local, community organisations like NLCT, also touches on the importance of time to talk with carers about their caring role, and why recognising the emotional impacts of that role and validating carers’ experiences is key to providing support.
