• The right to request flexible working
• The right to be identified as a carer by your GP practice
• The right (and choice) to request a free flu jab
• Protection against discrimination and harassment
• The right to request a Carer’s Assessment
• The right to be consulted when the person you care for is discharged from hospital

📱 Do you have NHS App notifications turned on?

We’re supporting an NHS England campaign to help cut the cost of SMS messaging — and you can help!

Many of us like getting updates straight to our phones, but did you know that every text message costs the NHS money? If you use the NHS App (and if you don’t yet, it’s well worth a try!), make sure you’ve got notifications switched on. You’ll still get all the important messages — but at no cost to the NHS.

✅ Just tap the person icon (top right) in the app
✅ Scroll to Notifications
✅ And switch them on
