General Information for carers
Are you an unpaid carer? Do you know someone who is? Do you (or they) need a wee bit of support and advice ?
Many people in Fife will care for a relative, friend or neighbour at some point in their life. Some research suggests that as many as 70% of us will take an unpaid caring role at some time. Some carers need information, advice and support to help them to manage their caring role. There is a range of help available for you, as a carer, and for the person you care for.
Anticipatory care planning
If you have a long term health condition, making an anticipatory care plan can help you get back in control over what's important to you.
Anticipatory care planning (ACP) means that health and care practitioners work with people and their carers to ensure that the right thing is done at the right time by the right person.

In Scotland there are over 650,000 people who care for a family member, partner or friend, who may be ill, disabled, or dependent on drugs or alcohol. Short breaks provide a much needed release from the physical and emotional demands of the care.
