Understanding the whole of military health systems : the defence healthcare cycle / Martin Bricknell - 2020

It also examines two structural tensions: the first between the numbers and skill-mix required to deliver garrison health services and the requirements to support military operations; and the second between supporting the current force and the duty to provide long-term care for those injured or sick from previous conflict.
