Combat Stress's Quality and Effectiveness Data (QED) platform has won the Healthcare and Rehabilitation category at the Soldiering On Awards 2025. The platform, which we develop and maintain, was recognised for the impact it has had on the delivery of treatment for veterans suffering with PTSD.

"QED has revolutionised care delivery, with thousands of hours saved in admin time. More importantly, it puts veterans at the heart of their own healing journey."

How QED Works

The QED platform is a secure system that serves multiple users in the veteran mental health care process:

• Veterans track their recovery progress in real time
• Clinical teams make data-informed treatment decisions
• Combat Stress leadership can demonstrate impact and improve services
• The wider sector can learn from the evidence-based approach

A Collaborative Project

The QED platform was built through collaboration between clinical teams at Combat Stress, data specialists, and our development team. Veterans who use the platform have provided feedback that continues to inform improvements.

Our role has been to develop and maintain the platform, working with Combat Stress to ensure it meets their clinical and operational requirements.

"I am very proud of the work we do with Combat Stress. It is a privilege to be able to innovate and deliver systems that advance the work of this important charity."
