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.

We are part of      Armed forces veteran GP
