It is acknowledged that due to military service, ex-Service personnel and their families may have unique health and social care requirements, which need to be understood to provide the best care and enable the best recovery from ill health. Therefore, this theme covers resources, articles, and documents related to all aspects of ex-Service personnel and their family’s physical health. This includes access to good quality health services, understanding the unique health and care needs of veterans and their families and the provision of specialist services, medical care, and support for service-related injuries (e.g., blast injuries, musculoskeletal injuries, traumatic brain injury).
