Veterans & Their Families

The Defence Medical Welfare Service offers professional, compassionate support to members of the Armed Forces, veterans, and their families during times of medical need. Whether in hospital or at home, DMWS’s welfare officers provide practical help and emotional support, ensuring no one faces health challenges alone. 

If you are supporting someone who has been physically or psychologically injured in the British Armed Forces, they are here for you. Whether you are partner, parent, sibling, adult child or chosen family, they exist to be a community where you are seen, heard and supported.
