Big news for carers in the UK!
Starting on the 6th April this year, the Carer's Leave Act 2023 ensures up to a week of unpaid leave each year for employees caring for someone due to illness, injury, disability, or age.
This day-one right aims to support carers in balancing work with their responsibilities. 🌟 Let's celebrate this step towards recognising and supporting the invaluable role of carers in our society. 💙

Carer's Leave Act 2023: Carers' entitlement to time off from 2024

The Carer's Leave Act 2023 comes into force on 6 April 2024, so how should employers manage carers' entitlement to time off?

In the face of a strained social care system, an increasing number of women find themselves as unpaid caregivers, juggling the care of both children and adult relatives. This growing challenge highlights the need for support and understanding within our community.
At We Talk Care, we see you, we hear you, and we're here for you. Let's share our stories, support each other, and find strength in unity. 💕

Life After Care: A Journey of Self-Rediscovery

Life After Care: A Journey of Self-Rediscovery

The end of a caregiving journey marks the start of a new chapter, one filled with opportunities for self-discovery and renewal. While the void left by the loss of a loved one can never be entirely filled, the experiences, skills, and resilience gained through caregiving are invaluable.

Has anyone’s LO become super clingy and how did you work around that? My mother gets so agitated the moment she sees me walking away and follows me.

The Palliative Care Journey: A Compassionate Guide

Palliative care is a journey that requires empathy, understanding, and a personalised approach. It's about more than just medical care; it's about nurturing the human spirit in the face of life's most challenging moments.

"Martha's Rule" is set to be introduced in NHS hospitals starting April, offering patients and their families the ability to request a rapid second opinion on care.
This change, inspired by the tragic loss of 13-year-old Martha Mills due to missed sepsis symptoms, aims to improve patient safety by incorporating family observations into care assessments.
