Equal partners in care (EPiC) - Caring for unpaid carers
Carers are people who provide unpaid care to someone who needs support. They are often family members, friends, partners or neighbours of the individuals we work with every day.
Welcome
Welcome to EPiC. Thank you for visiting our Turas Learn site.
Here you will find our eLearning modules and further resources to help you identify, include and support unpaid carers.
A helpful place to start is by accessing our 3 minute Equal Partners in Care - Caring for Carers animation.
EPiC : caring for unpaid carers overview
Welcome to the Equal Partners in Care – Caring for Unpaid Carers (EPiC) learning resource for health and social care staff.
Why is this resource for me?
In your job it’s highly likely that you come into direct contact with unpaid carers.
By unpaid carers we mean people who provide unpaid support and care to another person. They are the family, friends, partners, neighbours, and colleagues of the people you offer services to...and the role they play is vital.
The aim of these resources is to make a positive difference and improve outcomes for unpaid carers…and the people they care for.
You will have the opportunity to explore:
- who unpaid carers are,
- why it is important to identify them,
- the impact of caring on unpaid carers,
- how to have better conversations and interactions with unpaid carers and
- resources you can use to direct unpaid carers to support.
elearning modules
To access our Equal Partners in Care learning resources you need to be signed into your Turas account.
There are four modules, which can each be completed as a stand-alone module or as a series of modules. We highly recommend that you complete part 1a and part 1b of Identifying unpaid carers to gain the most from the topic.
On completion of each module you will have the opportunity to gain an Open Badge award which we encourage you to undertake supporting the impact of your learning in your practice.
We hope you enjoy your unpaid carers learning journey!
