The veteran friendly GP practice accreditation is a programme run by the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) and NHS England to recognise and support practices in delivering the best possible care and treatment for patients who have served in the armed forces.
What does being a Veteran Friendly Accredited GP mean to us?
Being a Veteran Friendly Accredited practice means we recognise the importance of delivering tailored care for veteran patients and their families within our community. We understand the unique health needs that veterans have and we will always continue to strive to provide the very best care and support. Our designated Practice Lead is Dr Chowdhury.
