From the British Army to the NHS

Nottinghamshire Healthcare has been a long supporter of the Armed Forces community and recognise the valuable contribution, wealth of experience and skills that Armed Forces personnel and their families bring to the organisation and that this contributes to the delivery of safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led patient care.

Last year, the Trust re-signed the Armed Forces Covenant showing its commitment to ensure staff who serve or have served, and their families, are treated fairly. We also work in partnership with NHS Step into Health programme, which supports servicemen and women to access career opportunities working in the NHS. Armed Forces and their families include: Service leavers, Reservists, Veterans, Cadet Forces Adult volunteers and spouses, partners and families of those serving. Read more about how we support our Armed Forces community.

Hear from Gavin Oxby, whose dream growing up was to become a solder. He is extremely proud throughout his career to represent the British Army all over the world.  Now a Registered Nursing Associate at the Trust, he shares his story about his life in the Army and the NHS.
