What is happening in the practice for Veterans

We have idenfied our Veterans in the practices. We will ensure that each referral clearly states that you are a Veteran. This information does not always reamin with the onward referrals within the hospital. Therefore, we are working with the Lancashire Teaching Hospital to have each Veterans Medical record flagged at the hospital with a Veterans marker. This will ensure that you are seen in a timely manner for any Military related condition. 

Thank you to all Veterans who attended the Veterans breakfast in November. As a Primary Care Network we want to know what help or support you need.  

Thank you again for coming to the Breakfast. Debbie Tickle Veterans Lead for Lancashire Teaching Hospital(LTH) explained what the Hospital is doing for our Veterans.  LTH are committed to identifying Veterans as they enter the hospital and providing support for those who are admitted. LTH are asking for any Veterans who are interested in being a member of a Veterans committee to let Julie Southern at the practice know. Julie.southern2@nhs.net 

Just a reminder for those who enjoy getting away from the hustle and bustle - you have access to Belisamas retreat -
