Currently in the UK there are almost seven million carers — that is one in ten people (Carer’s Trust, http://bit.ly/1QNAWZZ) — who perform a vital role in enabling people to lead independent lives in their own homes. To help nurses in primary care support these carers, the Queen’s Nursing Institute (QNI) has launched two new resources (online educational modules to help nurses support carers). These new resources are one of the main results of the QNI’s ‘Carers project’, which ran throughout 2014 with support from the Department of Health (DH).
