• Have you, or a close family member, ever been in the Armed Forces?
• Are you, or a close family member, currently serving as a Reservist
• Have you, or a close family member, ever served as a Reservist

If the answer to one or more of the above questions is “YES” and you are happy for this to be recorded in your medical records please let a member of our practice team know.

By identifying Military Veterans we are better placed to offer the help and support you and your family may need.
