Veteran friendly GP practice

Oldwood Surgery and Battle Heath Centre are accredited Veteran Friendly GP Practices.

We are proud to support our Armed Forces community. Our accreditation shows we can deliver the best possible care and treatment for patients who have served in the armed forces.

As a Veteran Friendly GP Practice we:

  • Have a clinical lead for veteran health Dr Marianne Preece
  • Ask patients ‘Have you served?’ to identify veteran patients
  • Support veteran patients to access dedicated health services
  • Undertake specialist training to meet the health commitments of the Armed Forces Covenant

Let a member of staff know if you, or your spouse/partner, have ever served in the UK armed forces. This will help us best support your care needs.

The Royal College of General Practitioners runs the scheme in partnership with NHS England.
