Veterans Rehabilitation Project
Project overview
The veteran’s rehabilitation project was established in 2021 to undertake a review of musculoskeletal (MSK) rehabilitation services currently available to veterans across England with findings published in the Veterans MSK Rehabilitation Report, 2023. The project aims to identify gaps and variations in provision, highlight best practice, and develop recommendations for improvement, to support the wider aims of the VCHA Veteran Aware accreditation programme.

We’ve launched a new quarterly newsletter to keep you updated on the latest in veterans’ rehabilitation. Each edition focuses on a special theme relevant to your work.
Nominate a therapies champion for your organisation
If your organisation has accredited as Veteran Aware but does not yet have a therapies champion, you can nominate / appoint one. Having a therapies champion can be a great opportunity to support the department in identifying members of the Armed Forces community, personalising care and supporting with signposting to other services. This is also a great career development opportunity for someone interested in quality improvement or service development. If you would like more information or to nominate a Veteran Aware Therapies Champion, contact Linus by emailing rnoh.rehab.vcha@nhs.net.
