Our third edition of standards have recently been published to support the quality improvement of veteran mental health services in the UK. They were developed from recommendations in key literature, research and in consultation with a range of stakeholders.

Care has been taken to ensure that the development of these standards has taken into consideration a wide range of sources, including research, policies, NICE guidelines and the views of professionals working in veteran mental health services.

We are pleased to share our third aggregated report for the Quality Network for Veterans Mental Health services (QNVMHS) which collates data gathered from peer review visits of veterans mental health services.

The report focuses on compliance against our standards, perspectives from staff, veterans and carers and overall achievements and challenges across services. 

For our previous report, you can access our second aggregated report for Veterans Mental Health Services which contains data following the 2021 - 2022 cycle.

We invite members of staff, veterans from veterans mental health services, family and friends, and external stakeholders to submit an article for the Quality Network’s newsletter.
