The Work of the RAMC in WW1
Dr Jessica Meyer presents 'From No Man's Land to Auxiliary Hospital: The Work of the Royal Army Medical Corps in the First World War
The Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) was crucial in providing medical support to the British Army during World War I, treating both sick and wounded soldiers. They were responsible for maintaining the health of the forces, evacuating the wounded, and providing medical care at various locations, from the front lines to hospitals on the home front. The scale of the war, with its vast numbers of casualties and new weapons, presented significant challenges that spurred innovation within the RAMC.
