An estimated 50% of patients worldwide
do not take their medications as
prescribed.
This can be for several reasons such as
poor mobility, weather conditions or
finances but means they are missing
essential medications which could make
them more poorly or make their health
condition worse.
The NHS app makes it easy to order
repeat prescriptions, remind yourself of
appointments and get expert health
advice.

We encourage veterans to let their GP practice
know they have served in the UK Armed Forces; it’s important to ‘say you served’.

It does not matter how long someone served for or when they left the Armed Forces, veterans should let their GP surgery know this information, as it may be relevant to their health and care, now or in the future.
