Corby Carers Event 2025

 

The team at Lakeside Healthcare Corby and Brigstock Surgeries are holding a special event for carers on Friday 13 June.

It is a drop in event for Lakeside patients who are also carers and it will give them the chance to talk to Lakeside staff, plus local organisations who can offer specialist help for carers. This will be the third year running that the event has taken place and previous years have been well attended with people getting more information from Northamptonshire Carers, Agewell, Age Concern, Northants Fire and Rescue Service and many others.

The practice’s Health and Wellbeing team will also be there plus more information will be given about the new Health Kiosk which will be installed at Corby soon which takes readings such as blood pressure, height and weight which are then automatically uploaded to the patient’s record.

Anisha Grewal, from Management Support at the practice said: ‘We are sending invitations out to people on our system who are registered as a carer, however, if you do care for someone and are a registered patient then you are free to come along and find out more about the help and support on offer. We recently got our Silver Carers’ Accreditation from Northamptonshire Carers and so this is another way of helping us to make sure that people who are carers get the right help at the right time.’

The event takes place at Corby’s Cottingham Road site from 2.30 to 4.30pm and all registered patients who are carers are welcome to attend.
