Using a referral code to enable GDNs to track how many referrals the website has generated. This method of traffic direction can also be used to encourage users of "The Carents Room" to complete CO awareness questionnaires

Procedure rationaleThis is phase 2 to the current collaborative project with the The Carents Room. The Carents Room is a service which tackles ageing related vulnerability by helping adults who are supporting their elderly relatives. The word 'Carent' being a play on words for a carer of elderly parents. Increasingly, adult children are providing informal care to help their ageing relatives continue to live at home. We call these carers "Carents", and there are estimated 2-4 million of them across the UK. The majority of Carents are middle aged men and women who are digitally competent which enables them to juggle both their professional lives with their Carent responsibilities. The Carents Room aims to fill this gap, acting as an online 24/7 "one stop shop" for every carenting need. From practical skills, advice and information, to services, products, peer discussions and wellbeing support, The Carents Room gives carents the information and connections they need to support their parents and keep them safe. At the same time, The Carents Room helps trusted suppliers engage with carers around services and products which can make life easier and/or safer for their ageing parents. The Carents Room combines medical and public health expertise to provide carents with a high quality, professional service. |
