Last week at #DSEI2025, our personnel demonstrated the Tactical Isolator - an enclosed stretcher for safely transferring patients with high-consequence infectious diseases.
On loan from the NHS, it highlights how future tech could support military medical operations.

I gave blood yesterday, a small act that saves lives. We encourage everyone in the RAF to donate if they can.
Huge thanks to @NHSBT and our own @RAFMedServices for their vital work supporting donation and saving lives every day. #GiveBlood
