| Annotation | Carers living in rural areas have the same needs as those elsewhere, but face extra barriers of physical and social isolation and lack of services, as do the agencies which provide services. This policy briefing suggests legislation and policy documents relevant to rural carers; outlines local examples of good practice and solutions; makes recommendations for local authorities, NHS Trusts and primary care trusts (PCTs) ; and summarises the work of Carers UK with regard to rural carers.
