Our PCN has been working closely over the last few months with Warwickshire County Council and the Veterans Contact Point on a project which offers free health checks to veterans living in North Warwickshire. These health checks will be delivered by nurses from GEH (George Eliot Hospital) out in the community.
These checks are designed to give veterans peace of mind, make sure they are pointed in the right direction for any medical needs and catch potential health problems early, allowing veterans to live healthier, more active lives.
The first checks were offered as part of the ‘Brew and Banter’ events at the Veterans Contact Point Nuneaton Hub from Wednesday 22nd of January, with further sessions in different community locations to be released throughout the year.
