Military veterans and ex-forces

If you're a veteran or ex-forces, please let us know. This will help us to give you the best possible care. Your GP may ask to see your military medical records; this will be kept confidential.

As well as giving you care, your GP may suggest you visit a specialist health service, or an armed forces charity. You'll be able to speak to people who:

  • understand military life
  • are from the armed forces community, or work closely with them
  • will work to get you the care you need.

You can also read the NHS guide to healthcare for the armed forces community.

A veteran-friendly GP practice

The Leith Hill Practice has been accredited as an armed forces veteran friendly GP practice. We are committed to helping veterans get the best care and treatment.
