ABOUT THE QARANC ASSOCIATION

The QARANC Association is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. 

On 15 November 2024 the QARANC amalgamated with the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) and Royal Army Dental Corps (RADC) to become the Royal Army Medical Service (RAMS).

During a transitional phase and the RAMS Charity being fully established the QARANC Association will continue to support all serving RAMS Nurses and HCAs who are members of the QARANC Association via Days Pay Giving Scheme.

The Association is managed by a Board of Trustees. The Chairman is a retired senior officer and other members include all ranks of both serving and retired members of The Association. The Association has its own publication, the Gazette where you can catch up with all our news and events.  You will receive two copies a year with your membership; either by post or by accessing on-line.

All serving and retired members contribute to the Association's funds. 

Serving personnel receive support on operations, grants for adventurous training, sporting activities and personal/professional development.

Retired members receive grants towards social activities and assisting them to support their wider branch communities.

The Association offers financial assistance for serving and retired QARANC members, depending on need.
