How can Op RESTORE help?

If you have a physical health injury and related medical problems attributable to your time in service, Op RESTORE can help by:

  • ensuring you can access the right care and support
  • making sure you are treated by people who understand the military and specialise in the type of physical injury and related medical problems you may have
  • putting together a care plan with you shaped around your specific physical care needs
  • working with Op COURAGE, the Veterans Mental Health and Wellbeing Service, should you need support for your mental health and wellbeing
  • supporting you and your family to access additional help where needed from armed forces charities whom we work in partnership with 

Who is the service for?

It does not matter when the physical health injury or related medical problems occurred or how long ago you left the armed forces, Op RESTORE can help you if:

  • you have served at least one day in the UK armed forces
  • you are soon to leave or are in the process of leaving the UK armed forces
  • you have sustained a physical health injury that was attributable to your time in service regardless of when that happened
  • you have ongoing medical problems related to the physical injury sustained in service
  • we have received a clinical referral from your GP

We work closely with:

  • the Ministry of Defence and Defence Medical Services to ensure those transitioning out of service have access to Op RESTORE where needed
  • Op COURAGE: The Veterans Mental Health and Wellbeing Service
  • the NHS across England, including GP surgeries and hospitals
  • the 42 integrated care boards across England who are responsible for most of your health and social care
  • armed forces charities, including Defence Medical Welfare Services (DMWS), Blesma – The Limbless Veterans, Help for Heroes, the Royal Marines Charity and Blind Veterans UK, who can offer you further support.
