Veterans’ Health

At Tower House Surgery, we are proud to be an accredited Armed Forces Veteran-Friendly GP practice, dedicated to supporting our veteran community.

As a Veteran-Friendly GP Practice, we:

  • Have a dedicated clinical lead for veteran health, working across the practice to enhance services for our veteran patients.

  • Ask all patients, “Have you served in the Armed Forces?” to identify and properly code veteran patients in our system.

  • Help veteran patients access specialized health services tailored to their needs.

  • Participate in regular training to uphold the commitments of the Armed Forces Covenant and deepen our understanding of the unique healthcare needs of veterans.

If you are a veteran, please let us know about your service so we can ensure your health needs are fully supported.

A study by the University of Chester found that the Veteran-Friendly Accreditation programme, led by the Royal College of General Practitioners in partnership with NHS England, results in improved healthcare for veterans.
