There are 2.2 million Armed Forces veterans in England.  We are proud to support the RCGP’s Veteran Friendly GP Practice accreditation scheme, enabling practices to deliver the best possible care and treatment to patients who have served in the Armed Forces.  It’s part of the health commitments enshrined in the Armed Forces Covenant.

Veteran Friendly GP practices have a specially trained clinical lead for veterans’ health and support veteran patients to access dedicated health services.  Nearly 1,100 practices are now Veteran Friendly accredited through the scheme run by the Royal College of General Practitioners in partnership with NHS England and NHS Improvement.
