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 (RAMS) 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: •
Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC), •
Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps (QARANC), •
Royal Army Dental Corps (RADC). The
Royal Army Veterinary Corps (RAVC) 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.
