Dr Emilie Brotherhood

New Carers leave advocate

I am happy for any ION staff member to contact me relating to taking carer leave. I am a secondary carer for a close family member with neuropsychiatric symptoms following stroke, which can be challenging and can require dedicated time in working hours. If you are looking after somebody and want to find out more about additional leave that may be available to you, please get in touch for a chat.
