To examine the health and wellbeing transition needs of armed forces veterans and their families, as well as public service staff awareness of the Armed Forces Covenant.
Conducted a three-phase exploratory study in Warwickshire, UK, utilizing surveys, focus groups, and an intervention co-development workshop.
Surveyed veterans, their family members, and local health and public service professionals regarding healthcare needs, barriers to care, and institutional awareness.
Veterans and families identified a need for clearer guidance on recognizing mental health symptoms, greater family assistance, and improved provider awareness of military experiences.
Only 35% of public service staff reported having a good understanding of the Armed Forces Covenant and their professional duties to implement it.
