List of Royal Air Force hospitals

British Forces in Aden: RAF Steamer Point. The RAF hospital is in the background, within RAF Khormaksar.

Royal Air Force hospitals were British military hospitals formerly operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) of the United Kingdom. They contained dedicated medical care facilities, at strategic locations wherever the RAF was operating, at home and abroad, to cater for in-depth military medical needs of Royal Air Force personnel. The hospitals were staffed by commissioned officer medical professionals of the Royal Air Force Medical Branch, and would serve as a higher tier of medical expertise and treatment above the normal station sick quarters, or later, station medical centre (SMC). The Royal Air Force had many military hospitals within the United Kingdom, along with several RAF hospitals abroad. They were primarily identified by the long-hand official designation Royal Air Force Hospital Nnnnn (where 'Nnnnn' is the geographic location name). This would typically be shortened to RAF Hospital Nnnnn (typically on road signs, in an identical manner to all Royal Air Force stations, aerodromes, and other RAF sites), and would be abbreviated RAF(H) Nnnnn.

The Second World War (WW2) prompted an expansion of RAF hospital facilities and locations: at home in the UK, in Western Europe, and further afield in the Middle East and East Asia. However, at the end of WW2, and the withdrawal by the RAF from the Middle- and Far East, this accelerated many RAF hospital closures. In the early 1990s, the 'thawing' of the Cold War resulted the near-total drawdown of Royal Air Force in West Germany (latterly known collectively as Royal Air Force Germany or RAFG) and the closure (by the RAF) of all RAF airbases. The British Army faced similar reductions in West German locations (known as the British Army of the Rhine or BAOR).

History

Matlock - Rockside Hall, used as a neuro-psychiatric hospital.

The first hospital for aviation personnel in the British military was at Hampstead in London. This facility opened in 1917, and was open to those from the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) and the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS).[1] Staffing at Royal Air Force hospitals was based on the number of beds, and the work that was undertaken at that facility. Some of the larger bases could have a roll of between 4,000 and 10,000 people to cater for. Halton, Cranwell, Matlock, Ely, and Torquay were considered separate entities from any RAF stations or bases. Halton and Cranwell had twenty and twelve medical officers (MO) respectively, whereas the large training bases at Cosford and St Athan only had eight each.[2] The original Royal Air Force Officers Hospital was opened at Finchley in 1919, moved to Uxbridge in 1925, and then to Torquay in 1940. A third move was precipitated in October 1942, when the hospital at Torquay was bombed, incurring nineteen fatalities.[3] Most of the hospitals were built in the 1930s or 1940s, to cater either for the RAF Expansion Period, or due to the outbreak of the Second World War.[4]

The hospitals were spread out across Great Britain, and at strategic points throughout the world. One oddity was Lancashire, which had five RAF hospitals within its borders (RAF Hospital Cleveleys, RAF Hospital Kirkham, RAF Hospital Morecambe, RAF Hospital Padgate, and RAF Hospital Weeton), which were deemed to be far enough away from enemy action in the Second World War to be relatively safe from bombing.[5] By the second half of the 1980s, significant reductions and closures had occurred; the RAF had five military hospitals (three in the United Kingdom, and two abroad; namely Ely, Halton, and Wroughton in the UK, with Akrotiri and Wegberg abroad). The average that each hospital had in terms of complement of staff was broken down as 22% officers, 54% other ranks, and 24% civilian employees.[6]

By 1996, all RAF hospitals in the UK and abroad had closed, apart from the hospital at RAF Akrotiri, but by that time, the hospital had been changed into a joint or tri-service asset, rather than strictly just for the Royal Air Force. All three forces in the United Kingdom concentrated their medical services within their bases, and in Ministry of Defence Hospital Units (MDHU), which meant that military medical staff were embedded within NHS public hospitals.[7]

Church Village, Wales 51°34′19″N 3°18′58″W / 51.572°N 3.316°W / 51.572; -3.316 September 1942 – April 1946 290 (1943) The hospital was located 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Pontypridd to avoid the areas being bombed in South Wales. [9]
Cleveleys, England 53°52′26″N 3°02′49″W / 53.874°N 3.047°W / 53.874; -3.047 March 1943 – October 1945 200 (1942) Known as the RAF Officers' Hospital, it took on the role of the officers' convalescent hospital after RAF Hospital Torquay was bombed in October 1942. [10][11]

When treatment was complete, service personnel (both RAF and WAAF) could then be posted to a 'fresh' unit, rather than back to the one they arrived from. However, the stigma of the hospital treating such cases caused some local concern in the short-term. To combat this, non-VD patients were wheeled around the hospital environs and in the town to promote the notion that the hospital was actually there to treat injured service personnel. [20][21][22]
Finchley, England 51°35′46″N 0°11′42″W / 51.596°N 0.195°W / 51.596; -0.195 May 1919 – June 1925 Initially called the RAF Central Hospital, it was formed at Hampstead in 1917, it soon moved to Finchley.

The RAF Hospital was moved in the first year into Nissen huts built in the castle grounds. These had been provided for, and built by American forces which were then diverted elsewhere.
