Carers Leeds offer support to people affected by the drug and/or alcohol use of someone they know, whether that is a family member, a loved one or a friend. We refer to this group as ‘concerned others’.
The 2nd July marked our official 4th birthday – happy birthday to us! When we started our journey in 2019 we were a tiny organisation of 3 or 4 people. Now we number 50 and we have various clinical teams delivering first class and holistic healthcare to our patient population.😀
Our very own Lead Nurse, Ruth Colbeck, is in the new Nursing in Practice issue. Please have a read!😀
