Armed forces covenant

Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution

In November 2023  Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust's chief executive, signed the Armed Forces Covenant, alongside Wing Commander Chris Owen, Air Regional Employer Engagement Officer (London), Royal Air Force.

Since signing the Armed Forces Covenant, as a trust, we have started the journey towards gaining the Veteran Aware Accreditation to become a veteran-friendly hospital.

What is the Armed Forces Covenant

The Armed Forces Covenant is a public pledge to ensure that veterans and reservists aren’t at a disadvantage when it comes to accessing healthcare or other public or commercial services.

Signing the Armed Forces Covenant is the beginning of our journey towards gaining the Veteran Aware Accreditation to become a veteran-friendly hospital.

Does it apply to you?

If you’re a member of the Armed Forces (regular or reserve), a veteran, or a family member, the Covenant offers a wide variety of support to ensure you are treated fairly.

Thank you to the hospital for signing the Armed Forces Covenant. It is really important that those people that serve in the reserve forces feel supported by their employers. By signing this today, you have shown that commitment to those reservists, to the nation and to defence.

Wing Commander, Chris Owen
