Routledge - Hospital Care and the British Standing Army Book

Explore the evolution of military medicine in this academic study from Routledge. Part of The History of Medicine in Context series, this book examines the transition of medical provisions following the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660. After the abolition of the New Model Army and its associated medical institutions, a new royal standing army began to expand over the next sixty years. As this fighting force grew into a formidable presence, the government faced the necessity of providing medical care for its soldiers. This work provides a detailed look at how hospital care developed within the British military structure between 1660 and 1714. It is an essential resource for those interested in the history of medicine, military history, and the institutional changes that shaped healthcare for the British Army during this transformative era.
