As a Veteran Friendly GP Practice we:
- Have a clinical lead for veteran health (Dr Kylie Daniels), who is supported by the whole Practice to improve veteran health services.
- Ask patients ‘Have you served in the Armed Forces?’ to help identify veteran patients
- Support veteran patients to access dedicated health services
If you are a veteran patient, please let us know that you have served so that we can make sure that we understand your health needs. Veterans include anyone who has served for at least one day in the Armed Forces, whether as a regular or reservist. It means the same as ex-service personnel or ex-forces.
The NHS can help if you’re in the British armed forces or are a veteran, a reservist or a family member of someone who is serving or who has served.
Please read these Top Tips for veterans on how to get the most from your GP.
Veterans Mental Health and Wellbeing Service - mental health problems are common and can affect anyone, including veterans, serving personnel, reservists and their families. It is important to get help and support if you or someone you know has mental health problems.
