Elysium Healthcare

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

We, Elysium Healthcare at The Bridge, will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are: 

• No member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen
• In some circumstances special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.

Elysium Healthcare at The Bridge recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business.

We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by: 

• Promoting the fact that we are an armed forces-friendly organisation;
• Seeking to support the employment of veterans young and old and working with the Career Transition Partnership (CTP), in order to establish a tailored employment pathway for Service Leavers;
• Striving to support the employment of Service spouses and partners;
• Endeavouring to offer a degree of flexibility in granting  leave for Service spouses and partners before, during and after a partner’s deployment;
• Seeking to support our employees who choose to be members of the Reserve forces, including by accommodating their training and deployment where possible;
• Offering support to our local cadet units, either in our local community or in local schools, where possible;
• Aiming to actively participate in Armed Forces Day;
• Delivering high quality care and support to the armed forces that may need our services.

We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.
