Defence Medical Welfare Service

We are an independent charity providing medical welfare to The Armed Forces, Veterans, NHS staff, Blue light services, The Merchant Navy & their immediate family when they are receiving medical treatment in hospital. Our practical and emotional support ensures that no family goes through the worry of illness or injury alone. Since 1943 DMWS has deployed to areas of conflict with the Armed Forces working alongside medical staff in the Field Hospitals. DMWS is also an external provider of expert Welfare, Resilience and Mental Health First Aid Training for preventative and interventional strategies for people working in the welfare arena and those wanting to improve their knowledge and confidence in supporting others.
