The Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) traces its history back to the foundation of the Regular Army, following the restoration of King Charles II in 1660, but it was not until 1898 that officers and soldiers were incorporated into one body known as the Royal Army Medical Corps. The RAMC motto In Arduis Fidelis is translated as Faithful in Adversity. The 31 Victoria Crosses won by the Corps, including two double VCs and one recipient of both the VC and the Iron Cross, bear testimony to the motto and the character and ideals of the men and women who wear the badge.
The Journal of the Royal Army Medical Corps aims to publish high quality original research, reviews and case reports, as well as other invited articles, which pertain to the practice of military medicine in its broadest sense. It publishes material from all ranks, services and corps within the UK Defence Medical Services, both Regular and Reserve, and also welcomes submissions from civilian authors. It is intended not only to propagate current knowledge and expertise but also to act as an institutional memory for the practice of medicine within the military.
