This week is #CarersWeek “A carer is someone who provides unpaid care and support to a family member or friend who has a disability, illness, mental health condition, addiction, or who needs extra help as they grow older. It isn’t someone who volunteers or is employed to provide support.” This year the theme is 'Caring About Equality' highlighting the inequalities faced by unpaid carers, including a greater risk of poverty, social isolation, poor mental and physical health. Far too often, carers of all-ages miss out on opportunities in their education, careers, or personal lives, just because of their caring role. Get involved in Carers Week 2025, and together let’s work towards an equal society, where carers are truly valued, recognised and supported. If you are a carer, you can access more information and support: ➡️ Carers UK: https://www.carersuk.org ➡️ York Carers Centre: https://www.yorkcares.co.uk If you would like to let us you are a carer, find out how to do this on our website here: https://www.priorymedical.com/referrals-resources/carers/

Incomplete Registration
You have have seen in the news this week that some GP practices have been notified that a cohort of patients have missed out on screening requests (e.g. mammograms, bowel tests), due to having incomplete registrations.
At PMG, we routinely review all our patient registrations and regularly identify incomplete registrations. There are no adults on our incomplete list, just children who have been accepted onto our list, but parents have not completed all the necessary paperwork.
We will be continuing to approach all the parents/ guardian’s of the children in need of concluding their registration process over the next few weeks, to ensure they do not miss out on vaccination recalls or access to GP services.
