Today is Carers Rights Day 💙

Every day, around 12,000 people become unpaid carers for a partner, family member or friend. Caring can have a huge impact on people’s lives, and at HPFT we’re committed to supporting carers to look after their own health and wellbeing.

Keith is one of those carers. He has been caring for his wife Sandra since she was diagnosed with early onset dementia in 2019. Sandra is supported by HPFT, and Keith shared his experience with us:

“We thought dementia would happen eventually because it runs in Sandra’s family. We committed to keeping her home for as long as possible but eventually it became too much for us to manage on our own.”

After a difficult period at home, Sandra was admitted to Logandene, our Specialist Dementia Assessment and Treatment Unit, before moving to Lambourn Grove in April 2024. Keith says the care Sandra receives is exceptional:

“I regularly witness the care they give on a personal level which is quite frankly outstanding. They treat her like a family member and you can see that everyone genuinely cares. As a family we also feel involved in her care with lots of communication and reassurance.”

Keith’s story highlights the dedication of carers and the importance of support. He admits his priority is his wife and family, but he still makes time for golf and might consider counselling in the future.

🗓️ Save the date 2025, taking place on Thursday 20 November.

We’re proud to join Carers UK and organisations from across the country in raising awareness of the rights, entitlements and wider support available for unpaid carers.

This year’s theme ‘Know your rights, use your rights’ is all about making sure more carers understand their entitlements and feel confident to use them. We’re encouraging everyone to get involved and to find out how carers rights can help you to:

✔ Access support
✔ Juggle care and work
✔ Look after your health and wellbeing
✔ When the person you care for is coming out of hospital

To celebrate our service is hosting two free webinars:

Care for Carers - Tuesday 18th November, 10am-11am: www.hpft-talkingtherapies.nhs.uk/resources-and-self-help/webinars/care-for-carers

It was fantastic to join nursing colleagues in Birmingham for two inspiring days of learning, networking and wellbeing.

Today is World Diabetes Day!

Managing diabetes often means making big changes in your daily life, and that can feel tough. It takes time to adjust, and it’s normal to find it emotionally challenging.

Our service is here to support you as you navigate these changes, helping you cope while making sure there’s still space for the things that matter most to you. Because diabetes is just one part of your life, and you deserve to live it fully and meaningfully.

This week, HPFT proudly marked with an inspiring event at our head office, themed “Footsteps to the Future”! 👣

It was a chance for colleagues to come together to celebrate the incredible work of our Psychological Services and look ahead to our future. 💜

The event was filled with discussions about best practice in psychological services – from early intervention projects changing lives to digital innovations like Avatar Therapy, the day was all about moving from treatment to prevention and shaping accessible and effective care.

Thank you to our colleagues in Psychological Services for everything you do!
