DOCTORS across Sunderland have signed up to support the city?s servicemen returning from war.
Wearside?s Armed Forces Covenant was signed on behalf of the GPs and their practices at Sunderland Civic Centre yesterday.
There are more than 26,000 forces veterans in the city.
Many face a struggle to adjust to life back on civvy street, with some turning to alcohol and drugs to cope.
Now, medics from across the city are joining the Covenant in a bid to provide better support and help to those adjusting to a new life.
