South Peterborough Primary Care Network recently held a special event for Carers.
Dawn Farey, the personalised care team lead said: ‘We welcomed patients from all four of our surgeries: New Queen Street and Stanground, Yaxley, Old Fletton, and Wansford.
‘We reached out to all patients coded as carers, inviting them along with their family and friends. On the day, 13 local and national organisations joined us alongside 40 patients and their family and friends. The atmosphere was heartfelt, with some very emotional moments as patients found a safe space to share and receive the support they had been seeking.
‘One highlight that stood out was when a representative from one of the organisations praised our team’s deep knowledge of our patients. She expressed how wonderful it was to see familiar faces and witness the strong, positive relationships we have built with our community.’
Patients were very positive and rated the session as ‘extremely useful’. One said: ‘Meeting everyone involved was helpful. Thank you for the opportunity to attend’ while another said: ‘It was very informative and well organised.’
