Description

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

Essex Partnership University NHS is an accredited Mental Health Trust that is fully committed to supporting our armed forces. We are accredited Veterans Aware and also hold Gold MOD employment recognition Scheme status. We are committed to both our patients and our staff and host the East of England Military and Veterans Tils service which provides support for serving personnel in transition and Veterans with Mental health needs. In addition, we support our staff through specialist policies enabling them to fulfil their military commitments as Reservists or Cadet force adult volunteers.   EPUT takes pride in our ability to engage with and also support the Armed Forces Family.
