Carer

Definition

From:

NICE Guideline NG53 - Transition between inpatient mental health settings and community or care home settings

National Institute for Health and Care Excellence

A carer is someone who helps another person, usually a relative or friend, in their day-to-day life. This is not the same as someone who provides care professionally or through a voluntary organisation.
