Military Families
Aldershot became the main centre of the British Army within the United Kingdom in 1854 and still is to this day, with a large number of military personal living and working in the area known as the Home of the British Army.
Here at The Cambridge Practice we are aware that being part of a Military Family can be hard. We can offer support and help for those in need.
Our Team of staff, some of whom are going through the same, are here to help.
If you are a veteran and you are struggling, please also visit our Mental Health Page or below you will find information for Veteran based help.

We are an Armed Forces veteran friendly accredited GP practice. The veteran friendly GP practice accreditation is a programme run by the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) and NHS England to recognise and support practices in delivering the best possible care and treatment for patients who have served in the armed forces.
