Military Veterans

 

At Bildeston Health Centre we are proud to be accredited as Veteran Friendly by the RCGP. Our Clinical Lead is Dr Mark Hainsworth.

As a practice we have pledged to support our ex-military as best we can. We would like to encourage all our veterans to come forward and identify yourselves, so we can offer you enhanced support.

Knowing that a patient is a veteran will help us to better meet the health commitments of the Armed Forces Covenant, whereby the armed forces' community, including veterans, should face no disadvantage in accessing health services and should receive priority care for military attributable conditions, subject to the clinical need of others.

The NHS is able to offer a personalised care approach for those veterans who have a long term physical, mental or neurological health condition or disability.
