For this reason the charity, alongside the Ministry of Defence, is funding a ground-breaking study that’s uncovering the ongoing needs of those wounded in action.

The ADVANCE Study is a longitudinal research programme examining the long-term health and welfare of those injured whilst deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan. Expert clinicians are comparing everything from bone density to cholesterol levels and lung capacity to work out what wider impact being wounded might have on a Veteran’s overall health.
