Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundations Trust (SFH) invited the nation’s oldest tri-service military charity SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, to its veterans event.

SFH, part of the Armed Forces Covenant, is committed to providing the best possible support for veterans and serving personnel, not only in the care being provided by the trust but also in employment opportunities.

Colonel Kelvin Wright, Commanding Officer of the Hospital Support Regiment, and specialist Consultant in ICU, said: “SFH has committed to provide the individual care that many of our veterans require after serving and promoting careers available in the NHS for veterans and reservists alike.

“It is humbling to see the level of Armed Forces commitment in the trust and to see that reciprocated by the community with their efforts around Armed Forces Day and, most importantly, during Remembrance.”
