BRADFORD District Care NHS Foundation Trust has been awarded a gold star by national charity the Carers Trust for its commitment to involving carers in their loved ones’ care plans.
The Carers Trust runs the Triangle of Care membership scheme, which aims to encourage healthcare organisations to commit to improving the experience of carers whose family members are using their services.
The gold star has been awarded for the Trust’s successful completion of phase one of the scheme, which is to assess the needs of people caring for people who use their hospital services, and to pledge their commitment to improve the service they provide to carers.
The gold star accreditation coincides with the second anniversary of the Trust’s Horton Park carers hub (pictured), which has been used more than 1,250 times by 167 different carers.
