Somerset Carers Champion and Health Coach Conference 2025

In May 2025, Carers Champions and Health Coaches from GP Practices across Somerset came together for our second Carers Champion and Health Coach Conference. It was an excellent opportunity to network, gather and share knowledge, hear about the key challenges for Carers Champions and gain valuable insight that could help shape GP Practice services for Carers.

Thank you to all our excellent speakers who shared so much valuable information on the day and to all the organisations that helped illustrate the type of support available in our county.

Below you’ll find resources from the day.
