If you already have an emergency plan, you and the person you care for can get added reassurance by carrying a Carers Emergency card. There is also a card which can be carried by the person you care for so that people know that they depend on you.

If you share your plan with Angus Health and Social Care Partnership you have access to a 24-hour emergency helpline, so if you are unable to do so yourself, the Partnership can get in touch with your emergency contacts on your behalf, or take appropriate action. This is a free service.
