Carers needs re treatment

Why are carers expected to manage going to hospital a long distance away for emergency tetanus injection etc. Surely knowing they need support and to be away for as short a time as possible, GP’s should be able to arrange / organise such basic assistance for known carers.

Surgeries are supposed to make reasonable adjustments for us and our carees. Mine says they are too busy!

Hi @Dare ,

welcome to the forum.

I suppose it’s where they have them in stock.

There is little understanding re carers needs I find especially when carees can’t be left alone/ for long and taking them along would be impractical or difficult.

Is this a hypothetical question or have you just been injured?
