During World War II, a centralised state-run Emergency Hospital Service was established in the United Kingdom.[1] It employed doctors and nurses to care for those injured by enemy action and arrange for their treatment across the range of local and charity hospitals that existed at that time. It was also known as the Emergency Medical Service, although this was, strictly speaking, the medical staff of the service.
