Nursing Patch?
Who would wear this patch? Would it be worn by QARANC Nurses? Army medics?
 Thanks Terry

Thank you very much gentlemen,
begs a further question. Would the nurses wear this patch along with the QARANC TRF? Worn above or below it? Were there other medical brigades that would have had nurses wearing their patch as well? Terry

It is a Formation Badge (FB) so worn on the left arm blanking plate and the opposite arm to the Tactical Recognition Flash (TRF)
There have been a number of Medical Unit badges worn since 1991 (Gulf War 1) most have since been superseded by corps TRFs and FBs. Tim

Terry I (uniquely) wore this formation badge between 2002 and 2004 as a Light Infantry Officer attached to the Brigade as the "Brigade Military Training Officer". Bizarrely I was also required to carry a "Non Combatant Card" and wear a Red Cross Armband (on exercise and Operational Deployment). The ruling on Red Cross armbands within the unit was that if you were medically qualified the Red Cross filled the entire width of the armband (from top to bottom) if you were considered as attached (non medically qualified personnel) such as drivers, clerks, chefs (and Infantry !) you wore a white armband with a smaller Red Cross which didn't fill the full width of the armband (hope this makes sense ??). To be considered a "valid" Red Cross armband, the rear had to carry the unit stamp of the Army Medical Services. PL

For completeness here are some Red Cross Armbands, not all with Army Medical Services stamp as required by the Geneva Convention.

Here is the relevant extract from the Geneva Convention referring to "Army Medical Service".
