It is great to see what you are trying to do.

It might be an idea to get in touch with your local Social Services Dept so that you can have a joined up approach, as they may be co-ordinating services such as access to Admiral Nurses, etc.

I co-ordinate a local group of carers and for those who have access to email the EXTRACT that follows below includes useful bits of information I have developed to date.
Regards,

Paco

We have many new members who may not have seen it before. Yesterday I posted it on another Thread but thought it might be helpful if it had a Thread of it`s own.

It`s a tall order but an excellent guideline.
