Armed Forces Veteran Friendly Practice

Supporting Veterans in Our Community

We are proud to be a Veteran Friendly Accredited GP Practice. This accreditation recognises our commitment to understanding and meeting the healthcare needs of military veterans.

A veteran is anyone who has served in the UK Armed Forces, whether as a Regular or Reservist, for at least one day.

 

Why Tell Us You Are a Veteran?

If you have served in the Armed Forces, please let us know so we can record your veteran status on your medical record. This helps us to better understand your healthcare needs and ensure you receive the most appropriate care and support.

 

How We Support Veterans

As a Veteran Friendly Accredited Practice, we aim to:

  • Identify and support veterans within our patient population
  • Understand the health needs of former Armed Forces personnel
  • Ensure veterans are aware of any services that may be available to them
  • Provide a welcoming and supportive environment for veterans and their families

 

Our Veterans Lead

Our Veterans Lead is Dr Rekha Sharma, who helps champion veteran awareness within the practice and supports our commitment to providing high-quality care for veterans.

If you are a veteran and have not already informed us, please speak to a member of our team so we can update your records.

Thank you for your service.
