Identifying carers in general practice (STATUS QUO): a multicentre, cross-sectional study in England
Conclusions
Many more participants self-identified as a carer than were recorded on participating GP lists. Improvements in the recording of the population’s caring status need to be actioned, to ensure that supportive implementation strategies for carers are effectively received. Using automated check-in facilities for research continues to provide high participation rates.
