Exciting times for the Defence Medical Services.
The last dedicated military hospital in the UK, the Royal Hospital Haslar in Gosport, Hampshire, closed in May 2007. This was the final stage in a radical change in the delivery of health care for armed forces personnel. The change saw the opening of Ministry of Defence hospital units across the UK, which are fully integrated within the NHS (for example, the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine, located in Birmingham alongside the University Hospital Birmingham Foundation Trust).
