Have you served in the UK Armed Forces? Please let us know
As we mark Remembrance Sunday, we're reminding patients who have served in the UK Armed Forces to let us know.
Our practice is an Armed Forces Veteran Friendly Accredited GP Practice. This means we're committed to understanding the health needs of veterans and helping them access the care and support they may need.
Some veterans may have health problems linked to their time in the Armed Forces. These can include physical injuries, hearing problems or difficulties with mental health.
By letting us know you've served, we can:
- Add this information to your patient record, with your permission.
- Better understand your health and care needs.
- Help you find NHS services that support veterans.
- Refer you to specialist services when needed.
- Help you access support from Armed Forces charities and other organisations.
The information you share with us will be kept confidential.
There are NHS services designed to support veterans with their physical and mental health.
Op COURAGE – Mental health and wellbeing support
Op RESTORE – Physical health support
Organisations such as the Royal British Legion, SSAFA and Help for Heroes also provide support to veterans and their families.
How do you let us know?
If you've served in the UK Armed Forces, please contact our practice and tell us.
You can speak to our reception team or let your GP or nurse know at your next appointment.
We'll make sure this is recorded in your patient record, with your permission, so we can help you access the right support if you need it.
Even if you left the Armed Forces many years ago, we'd still like you to tell us.
