Health Education England’s elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) team has worked with Carers UK to develop a free online resource to support the vital care that unpaid carers provide.
The Supporting Unpaid Carers elearning resource is for everyone who provides care and support to a family member or friend due to their disability, health condition, frailty, mental health problem or other health and care needs.
The resource, which is available on HEE’s elfh website, offers a variety of elearning sessions, with expert advice from Carers UK, resources, guides and videos to support unpaid carers.
The resources include:
- Links to organisations offering advice on topics relevant to the elearning sessions
- Downloadable resource guide including information on rights to benefits, support for carers and caring for those with visual or hearing impairment
- Access to Agylia Care resources
- Specialised elearning content on topics including dementia, mental health, physical disability, infection control and end of life care
- Information and advice on Coronavirus (COVID-19) for carers.
If you would like to share your thoughts on the resources and input into the evaluation of the Supporting Unpaid Carers elearning resource please visit our survey.
