Carers of patients at Nightingale House Hospice in Wrexham are invited to an awareness event.

The event, happening on Thursday, November 21, coincides with Carers’ Rights Day.

The 2024 theme is ‘recognising your rights’.

The Family Support Team at the hospice provides assistance to unpaid and informal carers of patients using hospice services.

Jackie Rowley, the Family Support Team lead, said: "Our aim is to help carers of patients who are accessing our services to recognise and understand their rights, and to access appropriate services that may help to meet their needs."
