In times of peace and conflict, the Royal Navy is key to Britain’s prosperity and success. We help to stabilise the seas, keeping the maritime trade that’s the lifeblood of the UK economy flowing. We act as a guardian and a diplomat, as a humanitarian force for good, and a peacekeeper on the global stage. 

The Medical branch is medicine’s frontline. You’ll push yourself further, providing specialist care in NHS hospitals, on ships at sea, or in a field hospital

Life in the branch is your opportunity to care for the people who protect our nation’s interests, being deployed to where you’re needed most, and taking on real responsibility from day one. You’ll be an essential part of your crew, whether you’re administering general medical care on the daily sick parade, or are providing a controlled laboratory environment in the field. The very nature of life in the Royal Navy means we need medical professionals of the highest calibre. That’s why you’ll receive constant training and have the opportunity to specialise in a variety of disciplines
