Welcome to Episode 6 of the NHS Armed Forces Health Podcast. This series aims to help you – the Armed Forces community - access the plethora of NHS services available.  

Through these episodes we will look at different aspects of healthcare from leaving service to finding a GP, taking care of mental and physical health, and provision for forces families.  

Today we will focus on armed forces families: how medical provision works as a family member, and the services and support available. 

In today’s episode which is the final of the season, the host Alice Knight- Driver is joined by: Andrea Collins, Head of Communications and Engagement, Health and Justice, Armed Forces and Sexual Assault services at NHS England and NHS Improvement; Jenny Ward, Health & Wellbeing and Covenant Policy Advisor for Naval Families Federation; and Jess Stirling-Yeatman, the daughter in a military family learning to support and incorporate PTSD into everyday life.   

We hope that you have enjoyed this series, and that it has given you insight into the work that the AF PPV does and the services that are available to you, the Armed Forces community.
