About 5% of the UK population are military veterans and have specific medical needs sometimes different from the general population. Veterans may be reluctant to seek help or talk about their problems, which means they do not always access care, support and treatments that are available. Others may face difficulty getting the right help. Veterans may think do not understand military culture or know about options for help and services that are available. Experience has shown that general practitioners (GPs) would like more help and support when looking after veterans. The Royal College of General Practitioners has developed the , which involves a simple online process of accreditation where practices are required to meet the specified criteria and provide evidence that they are supportive of veterans' healthcare. The aim is to improve healthcare provided to veterans and their families by GPs working in primary healthcare.
大约 5%的英国人口是退伍军人，他们有特殊的医疗需求，有时与普通人群不同。退伍军人可能不愿意寻求帮助或谈论他们的问题，这意味着他们并不总是能获得现有的护理、支持和治疗。其他人可能在获得正确的帮助方面存在困难。退伍军人可能认为医生不了解军事文化，也不知道现有的帮助和服务选择。经验表明，全科医生在照顾退伍军人时希望得到更多的帮助和支持。皇家全科医师学院制定了，其中包括一个简单的在线认证过程，要求实践符合规定的标准，并提供支持退伍军人医疗保健的证据。目的是通过在初级保健中工作的全科医生改善为退伍军人及其家人提供的医疗保健。
