Deserts, jungles, mountains: wherever our troops are, we need them fit and well. You’ll have the expert training to keep environmental risks to a minimum.
Keeping our troops safe and well wherever they are is a big job. As an Environmental Health Officer, you’ll use your expertise to advise commanders, both on operations and on bases, on everything from accommodation and sanitation, to food safety and pollution control. But unlike the civilian role, you’ll face new challenges applying your knowledge in harsh or hostile environments. You’ll need to think innovatively to solve problems – but thanks to first-class Army training, you’ll have all the skills required.
The Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) is responsible for maintaining the health of servicemen and women. The Corps is represented wherever British Soldiers are deployed, providing medical support to operations, exercises and Adventurous Training expeditions all over the world.
