MEDICAL OFFICER

7 REASONS TO

1 YOU ’ LL SAVE MONEY
The RAF pays for your healthcare , your duty travel and your pension . While on operations , you won ’ t pay anything for your overseas accommodation or food – and you could receive an extra allowance for living away from home .
2 GET AHEAD IN YOUR CAREER , FASTER
Join the RAF and you ’ ll be paid from the day you set foot on base to start your officer training . And because RAF salaries are reviewed annually , you ’ re usually guaranteed a pay rise every year .
3 GET FIT AND STAY FIT , FOR FREE
Physical training is a massive part of RAF life , and a great way to meet new people . Every base has free sports facilities , normally including a gym and regular fitness classes , and the RAF ’ s Physical Training Instructors are always on hand to offer training advice .
4 EXPERIENCE TRAINING COURSES WITH A DIFFERENCE
As a Medical Officer your job requires you to have specialist skills . This will include the Initial Medical Dental and Nursing Officers course and the Medical Aviation Medical Examiner course .
