Have you ever served in the British Armed Forces? If you have, then you can tell our team and we will add this code to your medical record. You can fill in the Veteran Identification form HERE and send it to us.
We are now Veterans Friendly Accredited.
As per the Armed Forces Covenant, all veterans are entitled to priority access to NHS hospital care for conditions associated to their time within the armed forces (service related). However, this is always subject to clinical need and does not entitle the patient to jump the queue ahead of someone with a higher clinical need.
Here are some resources that Veterans may find helpful:
