As we celebrate National Carers Week (October 13–19, 2024), it’s time to recognise and honour the extraordinary individuals who dedicate their lives to caring for others. This year’s theme, “Millions of Reasons to Care,” invites us to reflect on the countless reasons carers make such a profound impact on our society. It is a powerful reminder of how essential carers are in our community, especially when supporting those with complex needs like dysphagia.
