Centre for Military Health Research

DESCRIPTION
The King's Centre for Military Health Research (KCMHR) is a joint initiative of the Institute of Psychiatry and the Department of War Studies at King's College London.

The 'flagship' study for the Centre is a prospective investigation of the physical and psychological health of a random sample of UK service personnel, some of whom took part in Op TELIC (the war in Iraq) and others that did not; these form a comparison group. As well as answering immediate questions, this is also the platform for a longer-term study of a cohort looking at physical, social and psychological aspects of military service in the 21st Century. (Study referred to as Military Health & Wellbeing)

The centre draws on the experience of a multidisciplinary team with a wide range of research portfolios. The aim of the centre is to produce relevant scientific research at the highest level. The centre offers an MSc in War and Psychiatry.
