We are a veteran friendly practice
The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise from the nation to those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces, and their families, are treated fairly and do not suffer disadvantage because of their Service.
The NHS Constitution for England, principle four states: “The patient will be at the heart of everything the NHS does. It should support individuals to promote and manage their own health. NHS services must reflect, and should be coordinated around and tailored to, the needs and preferences of patients, their families and their carers. As part of this, the NHS will ensure that in line with the Armed Forces Covenant, those in the Armed Forces, reservists, their families and veterans are not disadvantaged in accessing health services in the area they reside. Patients, with their families and carers, where appropriate, will be involved in and consulted on all decisions about their care and treatment. The NHS will actively encourage feedback from the public, patients and staff, welcome it and use it to improve its services.”
