Accreditations
Carer Positive
NHS 24 is a Carer Positive Employer at Engaged Level. We understand how important it is for our organisation and workforce to provide a supportive working environment enabling carers to identify themselves to access the information, support, and services available to help them.
Raising awareness of our workforce will help NHS 24 to better understand the challenges faced by carers, signpost to appropriate services, practical sources of information such as Care Information Scotland and organisational policies. This will help NHS 24 to support carers with their health and wellbeing, future planning and build resilience into our workforce.
Most of us in our lifetime will be required to take on a caring responsibility and many of us may not even realise when this happens. Caring responsibilities can often be unexpected and may be short or long term.
