Armed Forces coffee mornings
Our veteran and armed forces working group have launched veteran coffee mornings that are open to all veterans of any branch of the armed forces and reserves
The quarterly events are an opportunity to build a local network, find out more about support available in the local area and to shape how the hospital group can support the armed forces community going forward.
The events are also open to staff across University Hospitals Tees who have served or who are currently serving.
The next event will be held:
- Thursday 10 July, University Hospital of North Tees at 11am
All future events will be listed on the South Tees Hospitals or North Tees and Hartlepool websites.
