The NHS 111 service have set up an online tool where you can check your risk of needing further advice or whether to self-isolate.

Contingency Planning

If you care for your loved one at home, try to put in place a contingency plan with friends, family or trusted neighbours, should you become unwell yourself.

In the contingency plan consider:

Details of names and addresses and any other contact details for the person you look after
Who you and the person you look after would like contacting in an emergency – this could
be family, friends or professionals
Details of the medication that the person you look after is taking
Details of any ongoing treatment they need.

The Carers UK website has useful information on how to prepare a contingency plan and you can contact our Carers Support Line on 01933 677907 Monday - Friday 9am-5pm
