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.

“What matters to you…?”

This simple question - that we health professionals should ask of all our patients - is at the heart of the Personalised Care Podcast.

It’s a new series, brought to you by the Personalised Care Institute, the national organisation which sets the standards for evidence-based personalised care training and is aimed at all healthcare professionals.

With our host Dr Bogdan Chiva Giurca, we’ll discuss how a personalised care approach – reframing the focus from ‘what’s the matter with you?’ to ‘what matters to you?’ - can be applied in different scenarios. We’ll explore the benefits of empowering patients to get more involved in decisions about their care, including better health outcomes, improved compliance with advice and more satisfied people, carers and healthcare professionals.

Every month, through in-depth insights and first-person accounts we’ll discuss topics as diverse as the menopause, long covid and veteran’s health and well-being. 

You can get a Certificate of Learning proving your dedication to personalised care, simply by listening to this podcast and completing an evaluation in the eLearning Portal of the PCI website - and the podcast also qualifies for CPD points.
