Support for Military Veterans at The Mast PCN
The Mast PCN is proud to be an Armed Forces Veteran-friendly accredited network. We recognise the unique needs of those who have served in the Armed Forces, whether as regular or reserve personnel.
A “veteran” is defined as anyone who has served at least one day in the UK Armed Forces. When you register with one of our practices, we’ll ask if you have served, allowing us to provide you with tailored care.
If you’re already registered and would like to ensure you’re added to our military veteran register, please let your GP or nurse know. This helps us offer you the best possible support, including services like our Military Veteran Health Check, which can help you:
- Proactively manage your health
- Address any health concerns early on
- Connect with other veterans to build a supportive local network

If you’re struggling with your mental health and wellbeing, Op COURAGE: The Veterans Mental Health and Wellbeing Service is here to help.
Op COURAGE is an NHS service in England that’s been developed with people who’ve served in the Armed Forces and experienced mental ill-health. Every member of staff within the service is either from the Armed Forces or has experience of working with the military community. In partnership with Armed Forces charities and NHS services, the staff at Op COURAGE provide specialist care, support and treatment for those due to leave the military, reservists and those who’ve served.
You can contact Op COURAGE directly to make an appointment or ask someone else, such as a family member, friend, charity or health professional to make it for you. You can also ask your GP to refer you, but you don’t have to go through your GP to get an appointment.
