Aimed at those working in the NHS across Scotland, the training for the Armed Forces and Veterans’ Recognition Scheme is designed to enable primary care and secondary care healthcare professionals and their teams identify and understand the health and wellbeing impact that military life can have on their Armed Forces and Veteran community patients.
Welcome
The resources on this site have been co-produced by the Scottish Government, NHS Highland and the Defence Medical Welfare Service as well as members of the veteran community to support the implementation of the Armed Forces and Veterans’ Recognition Scheme.
The awareness gained from this training could be valuable when trying to determine the appropriate person-centred care for each patient. Other benefits include:
- meeting the health commitments of the Armed Forces Covenant
- improving rapport with Armed Forces and Veteran community patients and their families
- optimising resource allocation by signposting to existing Armed Forces support
