Supporting patients as a Veteran Aware Trust
We are proud to be a Veteran Aware Trust, this means that we have been reaccredited from the Veterans Covenant Healthcare Alliance (VCHA), to acknowledge our commitment to a number of key pledges including:
- Training relevant staff on veteran specific culture or needs
- Ensuring that the armed forces community is never disadvantaged compared to other patients, in line with the NHS’s commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant
- Providing information to ensure that veterans, reservist and service families are aware of appropriate charities or NHS services beneficial to them. For example mental health services or support with finanacial and/or benefit claims
- Supporting the armed forces as an employer.
