Kingsfold Medical Centre are proud to honour veterans this Remembrance Day Posted or Updated on 29 Nov 2023

We at Kingsfold Medical Centre are proud to be an accredited Veteran Friendly GP Practice and to honour veterans this Remembrance Day.

More than half of veterans (52%) have a long-term illness or disability, yet research suggests many may be reluctant to seek support for their issues, particularly if they feel they may not be understood.

With an estimated two million veterans in the UK, a GP practice, like ours, may see a veteran patient every day on average. Being able to identify and support veteran patients is crucial to ensuring best outcomes, as research shows that some veteran patients may face different health challenges to the general population. 

It’s fantastic being able to make a positive impact on our veteran community. If you’re a veteran patient, please let us know that you have served so that we can make sure that we understand your health needs.
