Abstract
The Royal Navy’s Role 2 Afloat (R2A) capability has now been firmly established in support of United Kingdom (UK) troops
on contingency operations such as humanitarian aid and disaster relief operations. This article reviews the current capability of
R2A to deliver medical care to children and pregnant women, including the challenges facing the deployed Biomedical Scientist
(BMS).
