Carers in Cambridgeshire benefit from new support scheme
Carers in Cambridgeshire have benefited from a new innovative service which enables them to get help and support through Crossroads Care Cambridgeshire. The service was initially piloted by sixteen GP practices in Cambridgeshire - and is the first of its kind in the country. The main feature of the scheme is that through the provision of a GP prescription, carers can directly access services that they need to help and support them. Already two hundred carers were supported across sixteen practices in Cambridgeshire, during the pilot phase of the project. The service is now being rolled out to all practices in Cambridgeshire.
