Marking Remembrance with GP practice Veteran Friendly Accreditation

max
MariaPCC 8 November 2024

This Remembrance, the Royal College of General Practice and NHS England urge GP practices to become veteran friendly accredited. The Veteran Friendly Accreditation scheme is a quick-to-implement, free support programme providing the general practice team with a simple process for identifying, understanding, and supporting UK Armed Forces veterans and, where appropriate, referring them to specialist healthcare services. These include Op COURAGE: The Veterans Mental Health and Wellbeing Service, Op RESTORE: The Veterans Physical Health and Wellbeing Service and OP Nova: Supporting Veterans in the Justice System. With Remembrance period difficult for some veterans, unaccredited practices are encouraged to sign up here, to help ensure patients who have served their country get the care that’s right for them. 98% of Primary Care Networks currently have at least one veteran friendly accredited GP practice and the remaining PCNs are encouraged to sign up to meet the ambition of 100% coverage.
