Support for Veterans

A veteran is someone who has served in the armed forces for at least 1 day.

There are around 2.4 million veterans in Great Britain.

When servicemen and women leave the armed forces, their healthcare is the responsibility of the NHS.

It’s very important for continuing healthcare that you register with an NHS GP and remember to tell them that you have served.

This will help your GP to better understand any service-related health conditions that you may have and ensure that you are referred, where appropriate, to dedicated services for ex-forces.
