Do you want to do your shopping online? Order your prescriptions and make an appointment with your GP via their website? Do you want to keep in touch with friends and family on Facebook or via Zoom? We are running some training sessions which will help you to do all of this and more.
These sessions are aimed at people who feel nervous or lack confidence about using online services. The sessions will last for two hours and will take place at our Carers First offices in Strood.
- Online Shopping and Banking session: we’ll show you how to do your shopping online, whether that’s from a supermarket, Amazon, or any other website. We’ll also show you how to manage your bank accounts online. We’ll explain how to keep yourself and your money safe.
- GP and health services: learn how to make a GP appointment or order your prescription online, as well as use other GP services
- Zoom and social media: How to Zoom with confidence and use social media, such as Facebook. We’ll look at some key sites, including the Carers First Facebook pages.

Before the sessions
Once you’ve contacted us to say that you’re interested in coming along, we will get in touch and send you the Zoom link for the session. We’ll make sure that you’ve received the link and that you’re confident in being able to connect to Zoom. We’ll also be on hand just before the session to talk to you over the phone if you’re struggling to join.
