Armed Forces Veteran Friendly Accredited GP Practice
Armed Forces Veteran Friendly Accredited GP Practice
We are proud to be a veteran friendly GP Practice to support our veteran community.
As a Veteran Friendly GP Practice we:
- Upon registering at the practice ask patients ‘Have you served in the Armed Forces?’ to help identify veteran patients
- Support veteran patients to access dedicated health services
- Undertake regular training and development to meet the health commitments of the Armed Forces Covenant and better understand the needs of veteran patients
- Have a clinical lead for veteran health (Dr Simon Vickers) who has a specialist knowledge of military related health conditions and veteran specific health services.
If you are ex-forces, please let us know that you have served so that we can make sure that we understand your health needs and ensure you are getting the best possible care and treatment
