| 1. Educational provision. To evaluate the current online educational packages and update and improve accordingly. Educational material should target all practice staff. |
| 2. Specific development opportunities for veteran leads. Examples include developing networks across the primary care networks and connecting the veterans leads to their regional Armed Forces Covenant partnership committee. |
| 3. More time to fully assess the impact of the programme. As highlighted in the limitations section, the timing of the study during the COVID-19 lockdown period and the reduced footfall within PHC will have impacted on the results. |
| 4. Identify ways in which to better promote veteran-friendly accreditation. |
| 5. Raise awareness of veteran status in the veteran community. |
| 6. Research. Further studies could target help-seeking and engagement from certain demographic groups such as sex, age, minority groups, and families. |
| 7. There is clear evidence regarding the benefits of the programme to warrant continuation of the project and further funding. |
PHC = primary health care.
