Celebrating Veteran Aware accreditation and re-accreditation: July 2025 – September 2025

The NHS, along with independent healthcare providers and hospices across England, is proud to recognise the organisations that achieved Veteran Aware accreditation or re-accreditation between July and September 2025. This growing network of healthcare providers continues to demonstrate unwavering commitment to delivering personalised, respectful, and informed care to the Armed Forces community.

Whether newly accredited or successfully re-accredited, these NHS trusts, independent healthcare providers, and hospices have shown that supporting veterans, serving personnel, reservists, and their families is a lasting priority. Accreditation through the Veterans Covenant Healthcare Alliance (VCHA) is a mark of quality, signalling that these organisations actively uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant and are committed to continual improvement.

Re-accreditation reflects continuous quality improvement.
