Armed Forces / Veterans

We are officially accredited as an Armed Forces Veteran Friendly GP Practice.

We are proud to be accredited as a veterans friendly practice by the Royal College of GPs. A veteran is someone who has served in the Armed Forces for at least one day. It means the same as ‘ex service personnel’ or ‘ex-forces’, although not all veterans know, choose or want to associate with the term ‘veteran’.

Veterans also include any member of the Merchant Marine who has served in a war zone including crew from convoys in World War 2 and more recently in the Falklands conflict and Gulf Wars. 

 
OpCommunity is a dedicated telephone and email helpline for members of armed forces community needing advice and guidance on services including NHS and social care.  Armed Forces Community Support Information
