Description

It's important to understand what you may be entitled to as family members of someone serving.

Armed Forces Family Members are able to be registered as Forces Family Members. This tags a specific code to your health record. As a result, NHS staff are more aware of your circunstances. Moreover, if you move to a new GP, they'll also be more aware and accordingly, will be able to continue the best course of whatever treatment you're recieving.

Additionally, children can become registered with a DMS (Defence Medical Service) Practice instead.
