VOCAL, in partnership with NHS Lothian, has developed a range of Think Carer sessions to support healthcare professionals to identify carers and help them access the support and resources they need to improve their quality of life as well as that of the person they care for.
Story of Vocal
VOCAL is the Voice of Carers Across Lothian – an organisation run by carers for carers since 1994.
VOCAL’s carer support teams work with unpaid carers to help identify the issues affecting them, and achieve the best possible outcome for carers.
VOCAL delivers support through two carer centres in Edinburgh and Midlothian, and through staff based in the community. VOCAL works individually with carers to identify a plan of support which can include work with other agencies, referral to benefit, legal or power of attorney surgeries and access to a range of training and lifestyle management opportunities.

VOCAL Carer Surveys
To strengthen support for carers now and for future generations, VOCAL actively seeks carer views and engagement to determine what support might be important to carers in the future.
Since 2011, VOCAL has carried out a bi-annual survey of unpaid carers in Edinburgh and Lothian as an opportunity for carer to comment on the impact of caring on their lives, carer support services and the services provided by VOCAL. The findings from previous surveys were shared with NHS and local authority partners to inform the development of the Edinburgh and Midlothian Carer Strategies.
