Military Communities’ Medical Welfare and Care History Conference Series

The Military Welfare History Network provides a networking and dissemination platform for scholars who are research active in military welfare history.

Thanks to the generous funding of the Wellcome Trust, through the Society for the Social History of Medicine, in 2025-26 the MWHN ran a three-part series of events.

Entitled the ‘The Military Communities’ Medical Welfare and Care History Conference Series’, this series comprised three accessible hybrid network events, which took place in the UK and online (via Zoom) over the course of the twenty-four months of the award. All of which focused on the burgeoning ‘perspective’ of military welfare history; defined as the welfare, care and medical provisions afforded to service personnel, their families and other dependents.
