This Carers Week make some time to read our Caring in North Tyneside in 2022 report

As part of the events to mark Carer’s Week, Healthwatch North Tyneside has shared the results of the ‘Caring in North Tyneside in 2022’ survey.

681 carers took time to share their views and experiences of caring in 2022 in a survey conducted with North Tyneside Carers’ Centre on behalf of North Tyneside’s Carers Partnership Board.

The study was similar to that carried out in 2021 about carers’ experiences during the pandemic, so we are able to compare the responses and see progress.

Healthwatch North Tyneside worked with members of the Carers Partnership Board (who will oversee the next stage of the work), and a group of carers, to co-produce the recommended actions. The findings and recommendations have also been presented at the Carers Conference for Professionals and the Parent Carers Conference during Carers Week 2023, and are being shared with key local decision makers.
