A PLYMOUTH hospital has been recognised for the specific help it gives to serving and veteran members of the military.

The award came during Armed Forces Week, during which the hospital held its own Veteran Aware Day on site.
Veteran Aware accreditation means Practice Plus Group Plymouth has committed to making sure that members of the armed forces community will not be disadvantaged in the care they receive and where possible, receive personalised care to improve patient outcomes in line with the principles. of the 6 Armed Forces Covenant.
Accreditation was carried out by the Veterans Covenant Healthcare Alliance (VCHA), a national NHS team. The VCHA develops, shares and drives the implementation of best practice, while at the same time raising standards for everyone.
