Armed Forces Community Experiences of Healthcare Services in West Essex

Posted on: January 6, 2025

Are you a current or former member of the Armed Forces?

On behalf of Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board, we are launching a project on the Armed Forces Community and their experiences of accessing and using NHS services in West Essex.

 

We want to hear from:

  • Veterans, service leavers or non-mobilised reservists
  • Serving personnel and reservists
  • Partners, parents, children and carers of those in the Armed Forces

 

We want to learn about:

Any experiences of using GP practices, dentists, pharmacies, opticians, mental health services, hospitals and community services.

  • How can the NHS better engage with the Armed Forces Community?
  • What are the key issues with existing NHS services?
  • What ideas and suggestions do you have?

Conversations will be in person or via email/telephone/video call.

Any information you provide is anonymous and strictly confidential.

 

Want to get involved?
