Armed Forces Week 2025

Supporting Our Armed Forces Community

Armed Forces Week runs from 23 to 29 June 2025 and is a national opportunity to show support for the people who make up the Armed Forces community—serving personnel, veterans, reservists, cadets, and their families.

Our Commitment to the Armed Forces Community

As part of the NHS and a proud signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant, we are committed to ensuring that no member of the Armed Forces community faces disadvantage when accessing healthcare services. This includes:

Priority treatment for veterans for service-related conditions.
Specialist mental health support through services like Op COURAGE.
Support for families of serving personnel and veterans.
Recognition of reservists and cadets within our staff and patient community.

Get Involved

Show your support on social media using #ArmedForcesWeek, #SaluteOurForces, and #ReservesDay.
