Carers Information

Here at Burnham Health Centre we are aiming to identify all our patients who are Carers. 

Here are links to 2 forms which you should complete: 

1) Carers Identification Form  

Please complete this form and return it to the Health Centre receptionist.  You will then be registered in our Health Centre records as a Carer. With your permission we can also refer you to your local Carers’ Support organisation. If you live in Buckinghamshire this will be Carers Bucks. If you live in Slough it will be Slough Carers Support.

2) Carer’s Access Agreement 

You will need to give this form to the person you care for. By completing this form, the patient gives consent for their carer to access their medical records and information relating to their care e.g. test results. Please ask the person you care for if they wish to complete this form and return the completed form to the Health Centre receptionist.
