Priority Service for Veterans
All Armed Forces veterans are entitled to receive priority access to NHS secondary care for any conditions (mental and physical) which are likely to be related to or caused by their military service.
Please let us know if you are a military veteran so that we can note this in your medical records. If you need a referral to hospital for a condition which has been caused by your service, please mention this to the GP and confirm to the GP that you are happy for your veteran status to be included in the referral.
