Mr Majid spoke at No.10 about the experience of veterans and the importance of the Guinea Pig Club

Last week Mr Majid had a very different kind of school day. He was invited to talk at No.10 and have a tour of the building with the CASEVAC club (a group of service personnel who, like him, were injured during active service). He was there speaking about the experiences of veterans and the importance of the Guinea Pig Club – a group of people injured during World War II who underwent experimental plastic surgery and reconstructions and which can be thanked for huge advances in prosthetics and plastic surgery. It was a successful meeting in which Veterans Minister Jonny Mercer and Akshata Murty both agreed on the importance of clubs like CASEVAC and its members being points of contact and figures for the veterans community.
