**It is always a good time to join NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde to help Grow our Great Community.**:
As the UK's largest health organisation, and Scotland's largest employer, we are proud of our...

Support is the cornerstone of everything here. Join MFT and you join an organisation that cares for everyone. Bringing together 10 hospitals and community services from across Manchester, Salford, Trafford and beyond, we pool our knowledge, skills and resources to be the best for our patients, and each other. Everyone plays their part in providing outstanding care. And everyone has the opportunity to grow in a diverse, endlessly supportive environment where high quality patient care is taken incredibly seriously.

**Armed Forces Covenant**:
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde has reaffirmed its ongoing commitment to those individuals who currently serve, our Reservists and those veterans who are key members of our society by signing the Armed Forces Covenant.

The strong relationship between NHSGGC and the UK Armed Forces is greatly valued, with the health board already working to support employees who also are Reservists. The Board also welcomed assistance from the Armed Forces during the pandemic, particularly logístical support and advice to set up testing and vaccination programmes in the fight against COVID-19.

By signing the Covenant, NHSGGC pledged its commitment to supporting armed forces veterans, recognising the value they contribute and acknowledging that serving personnel and military families should be treated with fairness and respect.

There are more than 40 staff across NHSGGC who are Reservists within the Armed Forces, who can be called on at any time to support their colleagues in conflict zones or as part of humanitarian efforts across the world.

Anne MacPherson, NHSGGC’s Director of Human Resources and Organisational Development, was joined by Major General Bill Wright CBE as they signed the Armed Forces Covenant at the board’s headquarters at Gartnavel Hospital Campus. Anne said: “We greatly value the contribution of the Armed Forces and Reserve Forces, not only in serving our country, but also because of their commitment to the NHS in Scotland. We have benefited from the leadership and technical skills gained in the Forces and how this adds value in our clinical and non-clinical teams.

“We are also proud to have more than 40 members of our team who are Reservists and we are working hard to ensure that they get all the right level of support to enable them to serve our country when called.

“More widely, and in keeping with our core values, we will always ensure that everyone who accesses our NHS services, not least those who have served, will have the very best in patient-centred care.”

A spokesman for the British Army HQ Scotland, said: “For the Armed Forces community, the Covenant is about removing disadvantage so that they get the same access to services as the civilian community. It’s greatly appreciated by veterans and serving personnel.”

We recognise the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business and to our country. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by:

- **Promoting the Armed Forces**: promoting the fact that we are an Armed Forces-friendly organisation, to our workforce, patients, service-users, suppliers, contractors and wider public.
- ** Veterans**: supporting the employment of veterans, recognising military skills and qualifications in our recruitment and selection process through our Access to Employment Strategy;
- **Service Spouses & Partners**: supporting the employment of Service spouses and partners; and providing flexibility in granting leave for Service spouses and partners before, during and after a partner’s deployment.
- ** Reserves**: supporting our employees who are members of the Reserve Forces; granting additional paid/unpaid leave for annual Reserve Forces training; supporting any mobilisations and deployment; actively encouraging members of staff to become Reservists;
- ** Cadet Organisations**: supporting our employees who are volunteer leaders in military cadet organisations, granting additional leave to attend annual training camps and courses; actively encouraging members of staff to become volunteer leaders in cadet organisations; supporting local military cadet units; recognising the benefits of employing cadets/ex-cadets within the workforce.
- **National Events**: supporting Armed Forces Day, Reserves Day, the Poppy Appeal Day and Remembrance activities;
- ** Armed Forces Charities**: supporting Armed Forces charities with fundraising and supporting staff who volunteer to assist.
