“In relation to the provision of health services, NHS Lanarkshire and the University HSCPs offer a dedicated pathway, Veterans First Point , for veterans and their families living in Lanarkshire who require psychological support and assistance for a range of other social, welfare, and support needs. “Additionally, we also work with the Defence Medical Welfare Service who provide direct emotional and practical support for veterans whilst on a medical pathway, in accessing other services which might assist the patient in their lives outside the hospital environment, for example, home supports and respite breaks.
