| Annotation | InformCare was launched during 2012-2015 as a Europe-wide web platform and information hub on family care, as part of the wider European Union (EU) funded INNOVAGE project (Eurocarers 2017). The aim was to allow carers from any EU country to benefit from a "minimum kit" of information and support services in their own language. In selected countries, resources were also made available to meet the information needs of care professionals and employers on family care-related issues. This article outlines InformCare's development, pilot testing and implementation. It also considers the web platform's future sustainability. The list of references includes the weblink (http://www.eurocarers.org/InformCare), which has information on InformCare and related projects. (RH). |
