Veterans’ Health & Wellbeing in Scotland – Are We Getting it Right?

Are the needs of our veterans population properly understood and considered by those who work in health and social care?

A really valuable day of collaboration in action at the Unforgotten Forces Autumn Gathering yesterday. Great to see so many organisations, including new members, coming together to share experience, insights and practice in supporting older veterans across Scotland.

A minor clan gathering at @poppyscotland's Scottish Poppy Appeal launch at Holyrood last night, where I met Major Del Hamilton, Commanding Officer of the Personnel Recovery Unit, and Captain Sean Hamilton of the Scots Guards.

A meaningful evening marking the beginning of Remembrance and the vital fundraising period that helps provide life-changing support for the veteran community.

Yesterday I was honoured to attend the service marking the dedication of the new LGBT+ Veterans Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum, held in the presence of his Majesty The King. 

This poignant memorial honours those who served with courage and pride, including LGBT+ veterans who endured harmful treatment under the ban on homosexuality in the Armed Forces which remained in place until the year 2000. 

I was delighted to meet LGBT veterans Janice and Kent who had both travelled from Scotland for the event. The memorial stands as a powerful symbol of Remembrance, recognition and progress, ensuring that every veteran’s service is valued and respected.
