The MAP was established in July 1993 to examine UK Gulf veterans who were concerned that their physical health had been adversely affected by service in the 1990/1991 Gulf Conflict (Operation GRANBY). In recent years the Ministry of Defence (MOD) has extended the service to other groups of veterans including Porton Down Volunteers (PDV) and veterans of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and in 2007 the service began offering mental health assessments for veterans who believed their mental health may have suffered as a consequence of operational military service since 1982 and was not fully understood within the NHS.

Some GPs and other Health Professionals may have difficulty understanding the needs of veterans who believe they are ill as a result of operational service. Doctors are encouraged to refer to the MAP any patients who are concerned

that their health may have suffered as a result of their Service and who fulfil the criteria for being seen. This will allow the patient to have a thorough assessment by a doctor with considerable knowledge of veterans’
illnesses issues. Satisfaction surveys indicate that the service provided by the Programme is well regarded by patients.

We offer assessment and therapy services, primarily based on cognitive behavioural therapies but drawing on other modalities as appropriate. As a community interest company, any financial surplus we generate will be assigned to a separate fund which goes towards meeting the wider psychological needs of the community, particularly in respect of education and training.
