Our Practice is proud to have been recognised as being an ‘Armed Forces veteran friendly accredited GP practice’ by the Royal College of General Practitioners.
Being accredited means that our practice can better identify and treat veterans, refer them, where appropriate, to dedicated NHS services and capture better data to improve future health provision.
Our practice can support you with your healthcare in many ways, including:
- having medical staff with military healthcare backgrounds
- having staff trained to treat health problems that commonly affect veterans
- having knowledge of specialist NHS and DMS services designed specifically for members of the armed forces
If you do not think you have done so already, please contact us and let us know if you are an Armed Forces veteran of the British Army, Royal Air Force, Royal Navy or Royal Marines.
