In order to be rated outstanding, the trust have made a series of pledges around sharing and driving best practice in NHS care for people who currently serve or have served in the armed forces and their families.

Combined Healthcare want to continue its ongoing commitment and have developed a new patient information leaflet. This leaflet demonstrates a variety of ways in the trust supports veteran patients and lists a range of services available to support the armed forces community.
