Armed Forces and Veterans

The Armed Forces Covenant is now a duty for public organisations like the NHS. In order for Dingwall Medical Group to meet its commitment to improving the health and wellbeing of our Armed Forces and Veterans community, we need to be able to identify those who are or have served. This includes the partners and children of serving personnel and veterans. Additional avenues of support may be available to access through your GP if we know of your military status.

The information you provide will be added to your medical notes so your GP is aware of how your military background may impact your health and wellbeing. It does not mean you will be judged in any way, and you can still receive healthcare from mainstream services.

If you would like to know more about the Armed Forces Covenant Duty, please visit www.armedforcescovenant.gov.uk, or contact nhsh.armedforceschampion@nhs.scot

Military Status

You are a veteran if you have served for at least one day in HM Armed Forces (as Regular or Reserve), or you are a Merchant Naval Seafarer, who has deployed as part of a military operation. This is regardless of where you served, when you served, or how you might have left the military. You are a military family member if you are a parent, child, sibling, household family member, or partner, of a serving person, veteran or reservist. This still stands even if you have divorced or separated.
