We are pleased to announce that we have been awarded the Armed Forces veteran friendly GP practice accreditation from the Royal College of General Practitioners. This means that, as part of the health commitments of the Armed Forces Covenant, we have a dedicated clinician - Dr Rashmi Sawhney, who has a specialist knowledge of military related health conditions and veteran specific health services. This is important in helping ex-forces to get the best care and treatment. If you are ex-forces, please let us know so we can ensure you are getting the best possible care.
