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.
