I’m a carer. I’ve been changing nappies for 26 years. That is not the same as being a parent who successfully toilet trains their child at 2 or 3 years old. #CareAboutEquality #FamilyCarer

#CarersWeek2023 starts in UK today & next week in 🇮🇪
It is also a bank holiday w/end in Ireland
My world as a #Familycarer started late on a Friday of a bank holiday, & ended on a bank holiday Monday - spread over 2 loved ones in 2 years.
Bank holidays still traumatise me..

My response to Irish Human Rights & Equality Commission's #CareAboutEquality campaign. My grievance is that by using the terms “carer” and “care work” to describe typical parenting and household duties, it diminishes the voice and advocacy efforts of family #carers .

#HealthCare starts with #SelfCare
The hardest thing for a #FamilyCarer to do is find the time to manage their own care. Looking after your self ahead of the person you are caring for can feel selfish and sometimes unnecessary.
Karen Field Piers Morgan Ofcom As an #unpaidcarer otherwise known as a #familycarer I couldn't care less about how politicians are interviewed after all they chose to be one, no family carer really want to be one, we would rather have our loved ones health, but we don't like to be ignored by everyone
@cfeeney43 Blingqueen Why should a #FamilyCarer have to give up their life? For me, full time caring is about allowing Dad(96) to live life at home with people he loves. He’s paid the taxes that pay for his HSE supports. He shouldn’t have to see his daughter destroyed in the process. #CareForCARERS

#PreventativeCare is crucial for a woman's health. Not sure if you should go to your family doctor? An annual well-woman visit is recommended once a year.

From my poemseries 'Bedside Manners: Alzheimer's and the Family Carer' This series is so important to me personally. Proud too of the awareness raised
Terrifying time during #COVIDー19 . My disabled husband needed help last night (severe autonomic dysreflexia), too fearful to call #999 as #shielding . Self management worked but so so scary. #aloneincovid #fear #shielding #familycarer RT tnolan Charlotte Squires Ian Birrell Lynn Williams
Sarah Higson 💙 is hugely supportive of the carers Ipswich Hospital. She was responsible for leading wards thru the Carer Friendly Hospital award and always seeks views from #familycarers . Congratulations Sarah on your Suffolk Family Carers #carersrecognitionaward 🤩👏🏆
Thread: a few comments, from the perspective of a #FamilyCarer , on the recommendations of the #CitizensAssembly yesterday. It is significant for carers, care recipients and all who may occupy those roles in the future, that caring in Ireland has been considered by the Assembly.
If I had €1,000 for every time someone told me how much they admire me as a #FamilyCarer , I'd be rolling in money. Talk is cheap. Government need to recognise the immense work we do and how that has increased since #Covid

Dad(95) is full steam ahead with all his hospital appointments, because he’s fully vaccinated - but I’m wheeling him in and out... and I’m not protected, because I’m just a #FamilyCarer . ‘Fortunately’ my own poor health will see me vaccinated tomorrow. #carerscantwait
