Some GP surgeries and NHS trusts, such as hospitals and ambulance services, have staff trained to be aware of health problems that veterans might face.
These are called veteran friendly GP practices and veteran aware NHS trusts.
They’re designed to better support you with your healthcare in many ways, including:
- having medical staff with military healthcare backgrounds
- having staff trained to treat health problems that commonly affect veterans
- having knowledge of specialist NHS services designed specifically for members of the armed forces
We are proud to say that Oakmeadow Surgery has been accredited as an Armed Forces Veteran Friendly Practice. If you are registered here and are a Veteran, please let us know. If you are registering here, please indicate this on your registration form.
