The establishment of the College for Military Veterans and Emergency Services (CMVES) is the outcome of several years work with serving personnel, ex service personnel, the veteran community and the family unit from across the Tri services. The College provides a service that guides and advises men and women who are planning to leave military service be that through medical discharge, redundancy or choice. It also provides the same service for the military veteran community and for spouses. It has been made possible by the support afforded from Health Education North West (HENW) and the partnership working with Head Quarters 42 Brigade North West.
