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 understand and are compliant with the Armed Forces Covenant.
- We have a clearly designated veterans and Armed Forces champion.
- We identify veterans and Armed Forces community status to ensure they receive appropriate care.
- We train and educate our staff about the needs of veterans and Armed Forces community.
- We have established links to appropriate nearby Armed Forces community services.
- We will refer veterans and Armed Forces community to other services as appropriate.
- We raise awareness of veterans and Armed Forces community.
- We support, as an employer, the UK Armed Forces.
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.
