Healthwatch B&NES, Swindon and Wiltshire (BSW): Unpaid carers project 

How are you impacted when the person you care for refuses to accept help? 

Do you feel involved in decisions made about the people you care for? 

Healthwatch exists to be the voice of the patient. Listening to the views and experiences of people using health and social care services in order to help improve them. 

This survey is looking at the experiences of unpaid Carers, looking after people over the age of 18. They want to know what happens when someone rejects being given care and the impact that this has on their Carer.  

They are also interested in what it is like to access care on behalf of someone else and the barriers that carers face.  

Thank you for taking part and making your voice heard.
