The Deployed Medical and Healthcare Delivery (DMHD) 2025 Post Show Report captures the key discussions, insights, and outcomes from Europe’s leading conference on deployed medical care. Bringing together over 350 military, civilian, academic, and industry leaders from around the world, the event explored the urgent challenges of delivering integrated, high-quality healthcare in complex, high-casualty environments. Covering topics from strategic defence health planning and historical lessons learned to innovations in medical technology, logistics, and rehabilitation, DMHD 2025 provided a vital platform for collaboration between defence and civilian healthcare sectors. This report distils those discussions, offering valuable guidance for shaping future medical readiness and resilience in the face of evolving global threats.

This useful listicle takes a closer look at the UK Strategic Defence Review 2025, Chapter 7.10: Defence Medical Services, and identifies the key reforms most relevant to deployed medical and healthcare delivery. By distilling the Review into five core themes, the piece provides a clear, accessible overview of how government policy will translate into frontline capability. Each section highlights not only what the SDR commits to, but also why it matters for those responsible for delivering care in operational environments.

The brutal realities of modern warfare continue to reshape expectations for military medicine. In his latest piece, defence analyst Tim Ripley explores how battlefield care must keep up in order to meet new demands.

Drawing on lessons from Ukraine, he highlights how drone surveillance, peer-on-peer threats and mass casualty events are forcing NATO forces to rethink evacuation chains and medical doctrine alike. Ripley examines what this shift means for the future - from pushing life-saving expertise closer to the frontlines to harnessing digital tools and portable technologies that could transform survival rates in high-intensity conflict.

“Medicine changes rapidly. You know, the old adage that 50% of medicine changes every five years, which may not be quite true and maybe a bit of an overestimate. But medicine and medical care evolve quickly, and we need to keep pace with that by interfacing with our commercial partners, industry research, our allies, and partners across the world so that we can develop the best possible capabilities to look after our soldiers, sailors, and aviators.” These words expressed by Colonel Harvey Pynn in this interview highlight the importance of the Deployed Medical & Healthcare Delivery conference and its ability to produce a forum to express different points of view created by the latest Medical developments. This interview is a must-read for those seeking to understand how to power innovation in the Military Medical Field.

With the shift to near-peer competition as a result of disruption in the international order, militaries worldwide must face the challenge of delivering medical services in a more dangerous and strained environment. Essentially, asking the question, “How can we deliver an integrated health response to sustained casualties at scale?” Delving into this topic, we had the privilege of interviewing our conference chairman for DMHD 2025, Surgeon Commodore Jason Smith.

Recent conflicts have shown that near-peer warfare poses several challenges in terms of battlefield medical operations. Previous asymmetrical conflicts against a still dangerous, albeit less capable, foe permitted a relatively high level of survivability and recovery. On the other hand, recent conflicts have demonstrated that battlefield medical operations become increasingly difficult against a more capable foe due to unintentional and sometimes intentional threats. In this article, Tim Ripley explores the re-orientation.

Ahead of Defence iQ's 11th annual Deployed Medical & Healthcare Delivery Conference, this attendee snapshot highlights the leading organisations, militaries, and senior leaders who attended our 2024 conference, many of whom are expected to return in 2025.
