Most of the work has been contacted out to the Priory Group (although a small amount used to be under Nuffield Hospitals) and I am pleased to report their facilities at Woking are of a very high standard although their knowledge of military working practices and the environments we can find ourselves in can be a little lacking, which is why access to a CPN (from DCMH at Brize Norton in my case) is also made available.

Speaking to others who have been through the system some (especially the Army) report that they feel a little isolated from the military when in Priory Group hospitals and 'abandoned'.
