Support for Military Veterans

Last Updated: Thursday, 11 April 2024

We are proud to be an Armed Forces Veteran friendly accredited GP practice.

A veteran includes anyone who has served for at least one day in the Armed Forces, regular or reserve.

When you register with the practice, you will be asked if you have ever served in the UK Armed Forces. This helps ensure you are getting the best possible care.

You can also ask your nurse or GP if you have been added to our military veteran register.

Op COURAGE: The Veterans Mental Health and Wellbeing Service

If you’re struggling with your mental health and wellbeing, Op COURAGE: The Veterans Mental Health and Wellbeing Service is here to help.

Op COURAGE is an NHS service in England that’s been developed with people who’ve served in the Armed Forces and experienced mental ill-health. Every member of staff within the service is either from the Armed Forces or has experience of working with the military community. In partnership with Armed Forces charities and NHS services, the staff at Op COURAGE provide specialist care, support and treatment for those due to leave the military, reservists and those who’ve served. 

You can contact Op COURAGE directly to make an appointment or ask someone else, such as a family member, friend, charity or health professional to make it for you. You can also ask your GP to refer you, but you don’t have to go through your GP to get an appointment. For details of your local service, visit nhs.uk/opcourage
