NHS England Carers Week 2025
NHS England Carers Week 2025
9th – 15th June
Carers Week is an annual awareness campaign led by Carers UK to recognise the vital contribution made by the 4.7 million unpaid carers across England. This year the NHSE Experience and Partnerships team are hosting a week of webinars around the theme ‘Caring about Equality’, calling for an equal society where carers are truly valued, recognised and supported. The webinars are designed to share best practice, and provide opportunities for services to network and link, upscale work and share lessons learned.
We are delighted to be joined by a number of guest speakers throughout the week, so please join us as we shine a light on the fantastic work happening across our providers, systems, and regions to support unpaid carers. Click the links below to guarantee your spacenow.
