This Remembrance Day, we encourage all GP practices to become Veteran Friendly Accredited to support veterans who may be silently struggling with their mental or physical health at this potentially challenging time.
Research by the Royal College of GPs involving 5,000 veterans found that, although more than half (55%) have experienced health issues potentially related to their service, one in seven (14%) have not sought help from a healthcare professional.
However, nearly two-thirds of veterans said they would be more likely to seek help if they knew their practice was Veteran Friendly Accredited. Having taken the quick and easy step to become accredited ourselves, we have seen first-hand the difference it can make.
The free training and resources provided through the scheme have made it easier for us to identify, understand and support veterans and, where appropriate, refer them to specialist services designed specifically for them. Not only has the programme helped us to improve outcomes for our veteran patients, but it has also helped to save time and reduce repeat appointments.
It takes just 20 minutes to sign up, and more than 4,400 practices have already joined the scheme. A University of Chester evaluation found that 99% of practices recommended it.
Be a champion for veterans and their families this Remembrance Day – get your practice Veteran Friendly Accredited. Sign up for free here:

By becoming a Veteran Friendly practice, staff will have a better understanding of veteran needs, veterans will feel more confident that your GP team will understand their needs, and more veterans may join your practice as a result.

FYI - BLOOD TESTS AT BOWERY

If you are asked by a clinician to have a blood test, and would like to attend a South PCN Phlebotomy Clinic (located at The Bowery Medical Centre) please speak to a member of our reception team to book in.

The PCN are unable to book these appointments and do not operate a drop-in clinic. Patients who attend the clinic without an appointment will be turned away.

Please also ensure to collect your bloods form from reception prior to your appointment as you will not be seen without it.

These appointments can be booked via the reception at Spinney or calling us on 01744 758 999.

Thank you for your help in keeping these clinics running smoothly!🙏🏼
