Veterans' Trauma Network open for referrals
Commissioners are encouraged to cascade information about the Veterans’ Trauma Network, a newly launched service for armed forces veterans with traumatic injuries and conditions.
The network was established by NHS England and service charities following feedback from veterans, their families and GPs. Located in ten major trauma centres across England, the network is linked in with NHS veterans’ mental health services and a number of military charities to provide a complete package of care. A video has been produced to demonstrate how early use of this pathway is providing better care. Referrals to the network should be made via a GP to england.veteranstraumanetwork@nhs.net.
