A SERVING member of the Armed Forces from Cornwall is set to take part in this year's Invictus Games, which will be held in Dusseldorf, in Germany.
Codey Morton joined the Royal Navy as a medical assistant in 2011, aged just 17. She said she felt she had always wanted to work in a uniformed service, and had considered joining the police or becoming a paramedic, before it was suggested to her to join the Navy.
Throughout her Armed Forces career, Codey has worked in many different settings, including hospitals and what she describes as the equivalent to a GP practice.
However, over the years, Codey has developed some pelvic and lower back issues, which would have led her to medical discharge if it wasn't for being placed on a concentrated rehabilitation programme.
The now 28-year-old, from Torpoint, works at the Royal Naval Recovery Centre Hasler in Plymouth, supporting the Wounded Injured and Sick Personnel assigned there with their medical appointments, medications, referrals and by being a general welfare support.
