Support for Armed Forces Veterans

Kingsway Medical Centre has a significant number of military veterans registered with us.  We are conscious that some military veterans might be affected by the 20th anniversary of the Iraq conflict. If you have been affected by this, help is available as the surgery is proud to be accredited as a veteran friendly practice by the Royal College of GPs. Help is also available via Op Courage, the veterans’ mental health and wellbeing service 


There are a number of support groups active in the local area for patients to receive any support that they need from outside of their GP surgery. These are not managed by us and you do not need to speak to us at all to access their services.
