PMG is a veteran friendly practice. The veteran friendly GP practice accreditation is a programme run by the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) and NHS England to recognise and support practices in delivering the best possible care and treatment for patients who have served in the armed forces.

You can let us know you are serving/veteran by using the prioryCARE form and choosing the "general enquiries" tile, you can also call up or speak to one of our receptionists.
