We are proud to be committed to the Armed Forces Covenant. We endeavour to ensure that those who serve or who have served in the armed forces are treated with fairness and respect.
Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust commits to embed and uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant. We work to ensure improved health outcomes for serving personnel, reservists, and veterans who are patients in our Trust.
Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial service. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as, the injured and the bereaved.
As an organisation, we recognise the value serving personnel, reservists, and veterans can bring to NHS roles.
As a signatory to the Covenant, we:
- Promote that we are a ‘Forces Friendly’ organisation.
- Strive to support the employment of serving personnel
- Support our employees who are members of the Reserve Forces, including by accommodating their training and deployment where possible.
