Campaign encouraging veterans to let their GP know they have served

MariaPCC 12 April 2024

To improve care and support for veterans, NHS England has launched a campaign encouraging ex-forces personnel to tell their GP practice they’ve served in the UK Armed Forces. By capturing this information in a patient’s record, practices can better understand veterans’ health needs, particularly those relating to their time served, and make referrals, where appropriate, to dedicated services, such as Op COURAGE: The veterans mental health and wellbeing service and Op RESTORE: The veterans physical health and wellbeing service.
