It’s estimated that there are 2.5 million veterans living in the UK but they don’t always get the support they need from the medical profession.
Whatever your role within the NHS, you have an opportunity to use a personalised care approach to make seeking healthcare support a more positive experience for former service personnel.
This episode has been created to coincide with Armed Forces Day ( https://tinyurl.com/r5m8e8kw ). We’ll be finding out about some of the barriers to veterans receiving the right help – and learning simple things you can do to make a difference to their experience.
We’re grateful to the expertise of Brigadier Robin Simpson, RCGP Clinical Champion for Veterans' Healthcare and Ashlee Manning, Social Prescribing GP Link Worker.
