A GP referral letter and proof of service will be required before attending.

Our first 18 months have received outstanding feedback. Launched in June 2017, the Veterans’ Pain Clinic, part of the Centre for Veterans’ Health, at King Edward VII’s Hospital has been a great success.

In our satisfaction survey, veterans said:

“A fast referral system”

“Delighted with the time spent with the consultant”

100% of responders would recommend the service to veteran friends and colleagues.

The Veterans Pain Clinic is free of charge to all veterans who are able to provide proof of service. The costs will be covered by the Hospitals’ Military Grants Fund charity.

The consultant is Dr Dominic Aldington. Having served in the Royal Army Medical Corps he was the Subject Matter Expert in Pain to the Surgeon General and was responsible for organising pain relief from the point of injury until a casualty left the service. This saw him working at the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre at Headley Court and the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine in Birmingham, as well as undertaking a number of deployments during his career. He will offer advice and guidance on your pain related issues, including a medication review and will liaise with your NHS GP helping you to optimise your pain management.
