Veteran Friendly GP Practice

We at Marden Medical Practice are proud to be an accredited Veteran Friendly GP practice and to support our veteran community.

If you’re a veteran patient, please let us know that you have served so that we can make sure that we understand your health needs.

If you are ex-forces, please let your GP know to help ensure you are getting the best possible care.

As a Veteran Friendly GP Practice we:

Have a clinical lead for veteran health Dr. Nikki Harrison, who is supported by the whole practice to improve veteran health services.
Ask patients ‘Have you served in the Armed Forces?’ to help identify veteran patients and code them on our system.
Support veteran patients to access dedicated health services.
Undertake regular training and development to meet the health commitments of the Armed Forces Covenant and better understand the needs of veteran patients.

Armed Forces Covenant

Marden Medical Practice is proud to have signed the Armed Forces Covenant. The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise from the nation to those who serve. It says we will do all we can to ensure they are treated fairly and not disadvantaged in their day-to-day lives. This includes offering injured servicemen and women and bereaved families extra support where appropriate.

Marden Medical Practice Armed Forces Covenant Certificate

The Practice has also applied for a bronze award accreditation, for the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) which publicly recognises employers’ efforts to support defence personnel issues, such as employing reservists and veterans, while encouraging others to do the same.
