Supporting carers at the RUH

At the RUH we are all committed to supporting carers.
We promise to:

Acknowledge you as a carer
Help you to access support
Communicate with you and provide you with the information you need
Involve you in care planning and decision making and recognise you as an expert in the care of your loved one

Our commitment to you

Carers are welcome on the wards and in departments, and are treated as partners in care. At the RUH we recognise the importance of treating carers with dignity and respect and recognise the value of listening to their views. Below details our aims to support carers:

Learning from you

Carer Experience matters at the RUH and feedback is very important if we are to provide a quality service which meets the needs of patients and their carers. We welcome carers comments about their experiences of the services provided by the RUH.

If you care for a person who has been an inpatient or is a patient on a ward please complete this questionnaire.
