Celebrating Veteran Aware accreditation and re-accreditation: January 2026 – March 2026

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 January 2026 and March 2026. 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.

To achieve or maintain Veteran Aware status, organisations must meet core standards, including identifying and supporting patients with an Armed Forces background, appointing Armed Forces Champions, and working closely with military charities and local support networks. Re-accreditation reflects continuous quality improvement.

We have met key standards to be

We extend our sincere thanks and congratulations to all who achieved accreditation or re-accreditation between January 2026 and March 2026. Your dedication strengthens a national movement that continues to grow and evolve – ensuring the Armed Forces community receives the understanding and support it deserves.
