A fantastic service but I'm sure Carl won't mind me adding that he is a Regular not Reserves Surgeon and this is an NHS service that you don't pay for.
Patients can now ask to go anywhere under choose and book and consultant surgeons make money for their trust by seeing patients and operating. This is a good way to offer something back to the Veteran community but he is by no means alone.
A recent nationwide network of NHS hospitals that have military consultants embedded in them has been set up. Your GP's can refer you to them. I will dig out the link from BBC news about this. Also worth noting that Prof Briggs from Stanmore is leading on another veterans network to give similar access.
All your GP's need to do is refer you in.
The majority of Military Consultants embedded in the NHS are signed up, i know i am!
