Description
A carer’s needs assessment was developed to explore the needs of carers attending Yorkhill hospital with their children. It was recognised that Out Patients Department within Yorkhill was a starting point to consider exploring what carers need in a children’s hospital setting. Yorkhill Hospital is a unique setting whereby families often attend regularly and over a prolonged period of time during a child’s lifespan. The opportunity to identify the carers’ role, consider their needs, and consider support requirements, and to respond to this, is also unique.
