The Defence Medical Welfare Service

Who we are

We work with patients when their medical needs are being met but when other issues, problems or social influences may be distracting them from their recovery. Our support is person centred and tailored to the individual.Whether it be a life-threatening injury sustained by a soldier, or a housing crisis for a military veteran, PTSD diagnosis for an NHS hospital worker, a police officer returning to work after a traumatic incident; we help navigate the healthcare pathway, unlocking the solutions to improve wellbeing and support recovery. Our comprehensive and confidential medical welfare service supports patients, their immediate family as well as to their primary care givers and healthcare professionals. We operate in hospitals and recovery centres across the UK and Cyprus.
