As a Veteran Friendly GP Practice we:

• Have a clinical lead for veteran health, Dr Marc Le Roux, 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
• Undertake regular training and development to meet the health commitments of the Armed Forces Covenant and better understand the needs of veteran patients

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.

More than 1,400 practices are now veteran friendly accredited and a University of Chester study revealed that 99% of accredited practices would recommend the accreditation. To find out more about the Veteran Friendly Practices accreditation scheme, visit www.rcgp.org.uk/veterans

The Veteran Friendly Practices accreditation scheme is run by the Royal College of General Practitioners in partnership with NHS England.

Available across England, Op COURAGE is a dedicated mental health and wellbeing service for anyone who has served in the UK Armed Forces.

It’s aimed at individuals who are due to leave the military, reservists and those who’ve served in the UK Armed Forces and are struggling with their mental health.
