Scottish Government : Armed Forces and Veterans' Recognition Scheme (Healthcare)

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
