Armed Forces personnel, including veterans, serving personnel, reservists and their families, can require specialist care for physical injuries sustained in service, mental health support for conditions like PTSD and depression. The new programme will ensure NHS staff are trained to deliver personalised and targeted healthcare to Armed Forces personnel and their families. The programme is led by the Veterans Covenant Healthcare Alliance (VCHA); therefore, the NHS can identify patients with an armed forces background, train staff to understand their needs, and embed Armed Forces-friendly practices across their services.
