Building Stronger Futures for Older Veterans
"The course will raise awareness among frontline staff in the NHS, local authorities, and voluntary sectors about the specific needs and best methods of support for older veterans.
As a preventative training model, it focuses on reducing hospital readmissions by fostering stronger community connections.
The anticipated outcomes of this initiative include a unified UK-wide approach to veteran care. By ensuring that all veterans who enter NHS, local authority, or third-sector care are identified, have a veteran’s medical marker placed on their records, and are offered connections to local veteran support networks, the course seeks to strengthen support systems.
This will lead to increased personal connections within communities, helping to reduce isolation and loneliness. Additionally, the initiative is expected to ease pressure on healthcare services by reducing hospital bed blocking and minimising readmissions, thanks to improved social well-being and third-sector support."
