Abstract
This paper describes a developmental programme established in Great Britain which seeks to improve information, training and education for informal carers, for health care professionals, and for the general public. It discusses the need for such a programme, in the light of community care policies and previous research concerning informal carers. The underlying philosophy of the programme is outlined, together with details of the educational strategy being implemented and evaluated.Keywords
