HAVE YOU BEEN IN THE ARMED FORCES?

If you are a veteran tell your GP surgery as soon as possible. We will then add it to your records.

DO VETERANS GET PRIORITY NHS?

The armed forces covenant states that no one who has served in the Armed Foces should face disadvantage and in specific circumstances can expect special consideration. UK veterans are entiled to priority access to NHS care for service related conditions. this means you are more likely to receive specialist veteran care and consideration in the future including referrals to specialist veteran health services if needed.

If you would like  this to be added to your record please bring in proof of your previous army status and show to reception.
