Caring as a social determinant of health: findings from a rapid review of reviews and analysis of the GP Patient Survey

Caring as a social determinant of health: findings from a rapid review of reviews and analysis of the GP Patient Survey Public Health England commissioned Newcastle University to explore the consequences of being an unpaid carer of older people and identify evidence about how best to support this group of carers. This report found a lack of clear and robust evidence about how best to support people caring for older populations, and gaps in evidence on key outcomes. It concludes that unpaid caring should be considered a social determinant of health.
