North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

The Armed Forces Covenant is about fair treatment for people from the Armed Forces Community in a variety of respects such as employment, healthcare and treatment. The Covenant is about removing disadvantage so the Armed Forces Community receive the same access to services as the civilian community. 

The North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust is committed to valuing the Armed Forces Community through the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, recognising we have a moral obligation to members of the Armed Forces and their families. 

The Covenant’s principles are:

• the Armed Forces community should not face disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services in the area where they live;
• special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

 Our Armed Forces Covenant Board defines the Armed Forces Community as:

• Serving Personnel
• Veterans
• Reservists
• Spouse or Partner (including spouses and partners of reservists)
• Child of Serving, Veterans or Reservists aged 25 or under.
