Our Commitment to you as a Veteran of the UK Armed Forces
The NHS is here to help improve your health and wellbeing and keep you mentally and physically well. It is also here to help you get better when you are ill and, when you cannot fully recover, to stay as well as you can until the end of your life. Hartington Surgery is an accredited Veteran Friendly GP Practice. We are proud to support our Armed Froces Community.
- As a Veteran Friendly GP Practice we:
- Ask patients ‘Have you served?’ to identify veteran patients
- Support veteran patients to access dedicated health services
- undertake specialist training to meet the health commitments of the Armed Forces Covenant
If you are a veteran patient, please let us know that you have served so that we can make sure that we understand your health needs. Nearly 1,100 practices are now Veteran Friendly accedited. To find our more about the Veteran Friendly Practices acceditation scheme, visit: rcgp.org.uk/veterans
