In the case of terminal illness, carers will be expected to ”soldier on” afterwards. Not only do they have to cope with the loss of a loved one but, in many cases, they are left feeling that their purpose in life has also gone. So much of their lives have been spent caring for a loved one that the death of that loved one leaves an enormous gap to fill and too often the carer loses the incentive to look after themselves.

July has been designated Good Care Month. This is an annual awareness campaign held in July that celebrates the dedicated professionals working across the social care sector. The initiative highlights the vital contributions of carers—both paid and unpaid—who provide support to vulnerable individuals across communities.

More than just recognition, Good Care Month also aims to raise the profile of care as a rewarding and essential career path, particularly at a time when recruitment and retention in the sector are national priorities.
