Webinar – Informal Carers: Enabling Better Support in Integrated Long-Term Care
You are kindly invited to take part in the LAUREL webinar that will take place on Thursday, 13 February 2025 11:00–12:30 CET (10:00–11:30 GMT)
Informal carers — often family members or friends — provide essential support to older people and those living with chronic or cognitive conditions across Europe. Yet their contribution is too often invisible, under-recognised, and insufficiently supported by formal care systems.
This 90-minute Laurel webinar will explore how integrated long-term care systems can better enable informal carers to care safely, sustainably, and with confidence. It will focus on the skills, tools, and support structures carers need — and how health and social care services can work more effectively alongside them.
More than a discussion, this session will bring together European projects and real-world examples to highlight practical approaches to strengthening carers’ skills, resilience, and role within integrated care.
Join us to help shape a more inclusive and supportive future for informal carers across Europe.
