Military infection prevention and control The Defence Medical Services (Navy, Army and RAF) provide medical care to sick and injured military personnel and others in a range of uniquely challenging operational and training environments around the world. The Army Reserve are actively recruiting skilled IPC Registered Nurses. Medical Reservists have a variable part-time commitment, which is manageable alongside their civilian life and career. They give up their spare time in support of the armed forces, but they also bring the skills and knowledge back to their civilian role, thereby benefitting their organisation, department and colleagues. Many employers recognise that the training and skills gained by a reservist can directly benefit their organisation. Reservists receive training in communication, leadership and management, as well as having access to additional training, such as Tropical Medicine and Infectious Diseases / Clinical Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Course or Adventure Training. Visit the ARMY Reserves stand at the Infection
Prevention Society Conference 2024 to find out how you can ‘Live a life of purpose in the Army Medical Services’.
