Welcome to the St.John and Red Cross Defence Medical Welfare
Service website.

Welfare Officers provide a variety of welfare services to the Armed Forces and their entitled dependants ranging from routine day-to-day assessments to practical and emotional support in times of need. Welfare Officers work alongside military personnel in the Ministry of Defence Hospital Units in the UK, The Princess Mary RAF Hospital in Cyprus, in designated provider hospitals in Germany and on deployment to mobilised Field Hospitals.

The Service has only one concern at its heart: to provide the best possible welfare support for those for whom it cares, regardless of ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation or social background. In its selfless care for others, the Service embodies the principles of the Order of St.John and the British Red Cross Society under whose aegis the Service has always been provided.
