With Remembrance Sunday coming up and Armistice Day next week this can be a difficult time for our Veterans. A reminder that KMP is a Veteran Friendly Practice

Talk to your GP

Tell your GP you’ve served in the armed forces. It doesn’t matter how long you served or when you left the armed forces.

Ask for the term ‘military veteran’ to be recorded in your patient record. This will help your GP to better understand any military-related health conditions you may have and ensure you are referred, where appropriate, to dedicated health and well-being services for veterans.

Give your GP any paperwork and medical records from your military medical centre. This helps to ensure your military health record transfers to your NHS record.
