Health Talk Online have produced six videos of carers sharing advice for other carers. Some of the issues explored are:
- the extreme feelings experienced by carers
- the cost to the carer's health
- how others do not understand the caring role
- the benefits of talking with other carers
- maintaining a caring role once the person is in care
- ensuring knowledge is passed on to the care staff
- how the carer is the expert - their voice must be heard
- being prepared to challenge and speak up if necessary
- carers need for a checklist of information from day one
