Health and social care: Carers week 2009
Tuesday, June 16, 2009 by mtt admin
June 8 saw the 2009 Carers week to celebrate the hard working, dedicated carers that nurse our loved ones. The theme of this year’s Carers Week is a 'secret service' of carers operating undercover, quietly performing invaluable services and saving the UK money.
The week began with hundreds of carers and their supporters taking a 10-mile walk through London to raise awareness and fundraise for the Princess Royal Trust for Carers.
Carers Week manager Paul Matz said:
“The week is about recognising carers for the contribution that they make, not only to their loved ones but to their communities and to society.”
Events like Carers Week bring to public attention the work that carers do every day of the year. Please take a look at the carers blog.
Health and social care is one of the most rewarding professions anyone can undertake. The job requires rare skills such as empathy, unlimited selflessness and a genuine love for helping others.
Obviously, basic nursing skills and health training allied to the aforementioned attributes are essential for the modern day carer. If you’re interested in study health and social care or helping others, take a look at these options.
