Meeting the Needs of Older Male Caregivers

In recognition of both Carers Week (8th-14th June), and Men’s Health Week (15th-21st June) 2020, a research group in Ulster University (UU) launched the findings of a three year study exploring the impact of support services in identifying and meeting the needs of older male caregivers.  The research team, led by Dr Anne Fee and Professors Sonia McIlfatrick and Assumpta Ryan from the Institute of Nursing and Health Research at UU, believe that the necessity to raise awareness of, and to support, male carers is more crucial now than ever - as this is a sub-group whose support needs are not commonly understood.  The report can be downloaded at: www.mhfi.org/OlderMaleCaregivers.pdf
