ConnectingForCare.co.uk Brings Together the Carer Community, Resources and Shared Experiences to Improve Healthcare and Quality of Life for Carers, Patients and Families
LONDON, UK, 12 June, 2008 - With a goal to assist carers in the United Kingdom, Intel Corporation today unveiled ConnectingForCare.co.uk, the first online community of its kind for family carers, community and district nurses, healthcare assistants, social care workers and others to share information and provide emotional support to one another, filling a void in today's healthcare system.
The Carers Week survey results announced this week revealed that 77 percent feel their health is worse as a result of the strain of caring, and well over half have not had a chance to discuss their concerns about their mental or physical health with someone else, either a friend or healthcare professional. ConnectingForCare.co.uk offers a gateway for communication with other carers which may help alleviate the isolation that many carers experience on a daily basis.
