Middlewood Partnership is proud to be an accredited Veteran Friendly GP Practice and to support our veteran community.
As a Veteran Friendly GP Practice we:
-
Have a clinical lead for veteran health, who is supported by the whole Practice to improve veteran health services.
-
Support veteran patients to access dedicated health services
-
Undertake regular training and development to meet the health commitments of the Armed Forces Covenant and better understand the needs of veteran patients
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 and help you access the services you are eligible for. Even if you served for just one day in HM Armed Forces (Regular or Reserve) you are a Military Veteran. We need you to let us know so that we can then use a code in your medical notes to help us identify this. This can be used to alert the hospital of your valuable service to our country.
More than 1,400 practices are now veteran friendly accredited and a University of Chester study revealed that 99% of accredited practices would recommend the accreditation. To find out more about the Veteran Friendly Practices accreditation scheme, visit www.rcgp.org.uk/veterans
