Serving the people of Bradford, Harrogate, Selby and Craven Districts

Being responsible for a child with additional needs is often quite isolating. You may feel other parents don’t or can’t understand what it’s like. Getting to know other parent carers, learning from and supporting each other can have a huge impact on your wellbeing.

Join our Facebook groups to meet other parent carers and keep informed about our online get-togethers as well as important news about local services.

We hold events and regular groups especially for parent carers, including a You Are Not Alone group for parents whose children display behaviours that are challenging. You can also join in any of the groups for all kinds of carers that you might be interested in. See the calendar below for details.

Registering for online health services can save carers valuable time. Online services available to access include:

  • Order repeat prescriptions
  • View and manage prescriptions
  • Contact your GP about a health problem or medical advice
  • Check for available GP appointments
  • Review upcoming and past appointments

  • View care plans
  • Find NHS services near you
  • Check if you need urgent medical help using 111 online
  • Request an emergency repeat prescription using 111 online
  • Browse NHS health information
  • Browse NHS medicines information

Confused by the different health care apps and online services - Patchs, Patient Knows Best, SystmOnline, Airmid? Our team will be on hand to explain what the different services offer and if they are applicable to you.

We ask that you contact us to book onto this workshop so that we can advise you about anything you may need to dring along in order to register for online services.

There is free onsite parking and refreshments will be provided.

Contact our Digital Inclusion Team on 01274 449660 or digital.inclusion@carersresource.org for more information or to book your place.

As online services differ between medical practices, this workshop is aimed at patients of Rockwell and Wrose Practice. If you are registered with a different practice and would like support using their online services, ask your surgery if they would like us to provide a workshop at their practice, or contact us to register your interest.
