We Are a Veteran Friendly Practice

At our practice, we are proud to be officially recognised as a Veteran Friendly GP Practice. This means we are committed to providing the best possible care and support to those who have served in the UK Armed Forces.

What Does "Veteran Friendly" Mean?

Being a Veteran Friendly Practice means:

• Understanding Your Needs: We recognise that veterans may face unique health challenges related to their time in service, including physical injuries, mental health concerns such as PTSD, and the transition to civilian life.
• Trained Staff: Our team includes clinicians who have received specialist training to better understand and support the needs of veterans and their families.
• Respect and Confidentiality: We provide a safe, respectful, and confidential environment where veterans can feel comfortable discussing their health and wellbeing.

Let Us Know You're a Veteran

If you have served in the Armed Forces, please let us know. This helps us ensure you receive the most appropriate care and access to veteran-specific services. You can inform our reception team or mention it during your next appointment.

We are here to support you—thank you for your service.

What is the Armed Forces Covenant?

The Armed Forces Covenant

An Enduring Covenant Between The People of the United Kingdom Her Majesty’s Government – and – All those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown And their Families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.
