Armed Forces Veterans Practice

Budleigh Salterton Medical Centre is a Veteran Friendly Practice.  Our lead  veteran GP is Dr Brian Taylor.

It is important to us that we meet your needs and follow the Armed Forces Covenant.  The covenant is a promise from the nation that those who serve or have served in the armed forces, and their families, are treated fairly and it establishes how they should expect to be treated.

Please let the surgery know if you are a Veteran.

Veterans Gateway

The Veterans Gateway provides a single point of contact for veterans seeking advice and support.

There is a huge network of organisations supporting the Armed Forces community, so finding the right one for your needs can be tricky.  The Veterans Gateway makes it quick and easy by being your first point of contact for whatever support you need, whether you are based in the UK or abroad.

Many of their team are veterans themselves so they understand the issues that people face after leaving the Armed Forces.  They work with people on a one-to-one basis, connecting them with the right support as soon as possible.  Their contact number is 0808 802 1212.
