GPS Healthcare Carers Support – Saturday 14th June 2025

Posted on:

GPS Healthcare is promoting the South Solihull Later Life and Carers Event taking place on Saturday, 14th June 2025, from 10am to 1pm at The Bridge, 234 Stratford Road, Shirley, B90 3AG 

This free community event brings together over 15 organisations including Age UK, Carers Trust, and Alzheimer’s Society, all ready to provide valuable information, advice and practical support for those in a caring role or planning for later life. 

Information provided at the event: 

  • finances and planning in case you (or family members) need help 
  • housing choices – adaptations, right-sizing and how housing can keep you well 
  • technology and care choices 
  • support for carers 
  • looking after your health and wellbeing 

We are also actively contacting eligible carers to attend a Saturday clinic at Park surgery on the same day to have an NHS health check.  

If you are a registered carer, aged 40-74 years, do not have an existing health condition and have not had a health check within the past 5 years you are eligible to have one. Please contact us to arrange one if you think you are eligible.

The Bridge is also conveniently located near to Park Surgery on the Stratford Road so that you can attend both on the same day.  

We understand the vital role carers play and are committed to supporting your health and wellbeing.
