Upcoming Armed Forces events taking place across our University Hospitals Tees sites.
Armed Forces coffee mornings
Our veteran and armed forces working group have launched free armed forces coffee mornings which are open to all members of the armed forces community and their families.
They are an opportunity to build a local network, find out more about support available in the local area and also to shape how our 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.
