November holds a special place for veterans as it marks the anniversary of the end of World War I.
We are a Veteran Friendly Accredited GP practice and we are here to support our veteran community throughout November.
We know that throughout this month, it is likely to be particularly challenging for the many veterans in our community and we want you to know that we are trained and committed to effectively identifying and supporting your health needs.
As a Veteran Friendly Accredited practice, our team:
– recognises the importance of identifying veteran patients within our community
– understands the unique health needs that veterans may have
– strives to provide veterans with the very best care and support
– knows about the specialist veteran healthcare services that exist
– undertakes regular training and development to ensure we’re able to deliver the very best care to veterans in our community and meet the health commitments of the Armed Forces Covenant
If you’re a veteran patient, please do let us know that you have served so that we can make sure you receive the most appropriate and best care, if and when you ever need it.
For any GP practices that are not currently Veteran Friendly Accredited, it takes just 20 minutes to sign up and more than 4,400 practices have already joined the scheme.
