Supporting the Armed Forces community

The NHS employs many staff from across the Armed Forces community. We support employers to ensure these military colleagues are able to thrive.

The Armed Forces community includes regular personnel, reservists, veterans, adult cadet force volunteers and families of regular personnel, reservists and veterans.

The values held by members of the Armed Forces community closely align to the NHS ways of working and values, with particular emphasis on service, commitment and respect.
