The Know-How

Health and Social Care Support

Health and social care can feel complicated, especially when you are already dealing with change, illness or uncertainty.

This section brings together clear, practical information to help you understand how health and social care services work, what support is available, and how to access it.

You will find guidance on GP appointments, hospital discharge, assessments, transport, carers’ rights and local services, alongside lived experience from people who have had to navigate these systems themselves.

Knowing what to expect, and what you can ask for, can make a difficult situation feel more manageable.

If you would rather talk things through, our Concierge team is here to listen and help.
