Health Advocacy

NKS offers support to those with long term health conditions to attend their health appointments. Our staff will meet clients at their GP surgery or hospital and advocate on their behalf so that they are fully supported to get the most out of the appointment. The carers in the South Asian communities are supported to make life changes in several ways and one way is through one to one support to manage their caring role within the cultural and religious boundaries.  One to one support is provided in the area of accessing services, income maximisation, personal needs and development, carers break within acceptable boundaries, building positive relationships within their families, their rights and legal implications for the whole family, support with finding a direction in the way of work, studying, joining English classes or volunteering.
