Armistice Day

On this Armistice Day 11th November 2025, Sid Valley Practice remembers and honours all who served and sacrificed — including those from our own community.

We give thanks for their courage and reflect on their legacy of peace.

We’re proud to be a Veteran Friendly Accredited GP practice and to support our veteran community

If you’re a veteran patient, please do let us know that you have served so that we can make sure you receive the most appropriate and best
care, if and when you ever need it.

You can learn more about the accreditation and how it supports veteran patients, here: rcgp.org.uk/veterans
