Our research has discovered that over half of #unpaidcarers feel "exhausted" during the festive season. The challenges of looking after someone mixed with the pressures of Christmas can mean carers don't get the chance to have a break.

Whilst the annual drive to ensure people leave the hospital before the Christmas Eve is vital, it never seems to achieve the outcome that is on everyone’s Xmas list – that of a reliable discharge process that has people, not systems, at its heart.
