Harry Leslie Smith February 25, 1923- November 28, 2018 "The role of a caregiver in the 21st century is one where the caregiver must sacrifice their financial well-being and often their health." https://jmsmith.substack.com/p/harry-leslie-smith-february-25-1923 #CarersRightsDay

Sir Tony Robinson explains that the need for the Government to prioritise dementia care has never been more pressing.

Today is apparently #CarersRightsDay - I didn't know. I just searched Carers because as one am having a hard slog of it recently. I have done it for over 10 years, firstly my late mother's cancer battle and continually looking after my 96 year old Dad (who at minute has recurring pneumonia & UTIs). It gets no easier. I have done numerous diverse mental and physical work but Home Carer is by far the most difficult - 24/7 hours (for a £69 per week allowance), high stress and emotional investment.

SANE joins Carers UK in championing #CarersRightsDay.

The lack of rights for carers of those with mental illness is unacceptable. Confidentiality can exclude carers from having a right to information, with often tragic consequences.

It's UK #CarersRightsDay

Here's something I did recently for @BylineTimes and @Hardeep_Matharu

It's a shameful fact that the health and care system fails disabled people – but what's under-reported are the gaps in support for family members.

Carers' needs are unmet, their role overlooked, these issues should be part of the national conversation about the future of our health and care system

Today is #CarersRightsDay. I'm one of those that had to leave the Career side and drop into the right.

If you know anyone that's a Carer, please offer them a little part of your day, even 15 minutes with a Carer can make a big difference to their week.

To the Carers, I know how exhausted many of you are. If anyone wants to chat, no matter how trivial, I am here. #carers
