History

Formation of the Royal Army Medical Service

On 15 October 2024, it was announced in parliament that King Charles had approved the creation of the Royal Army Medical Service for the British Army. This formation was the result of an amalgamation process known as Project Victoria, which proposed an integration of the Army's three previous healthcare corps:
The Royal Army Veterinary Corps remains an independent corps outside of the Royal Army Medical Service due to their legal and operational combatant status which differs from the special protected status of the RAMC, RADC and QARANC.
The official amalgamation parade took place on 15 November 2024 at Staff College, Camberley.
