Who we support

We support serving personnel and reservists of all 3 services, their dependent relatives and other entitled civilians when they need help during times of ill health.

With the number of veterans of all ages continuously growing, there is an increased demand for our professional service to support the veteran community when they are receiving medical treatment.

We support frontline service workers and their immediate families including blue light services and NHS staff. We deliver this support via our Emergency Response Service (ERS).

We support those who are or have been in The Merchant Navy and their immediate families when they need help during times of ill health.

Our service contributes to a reduction in sickness absence, improves the co-ordination and delivery of individual patient care.

DMWS’ unique role and capability means we can and do respond to a civilian crisis, national emergency or military deployment.
