'''202 (Midlands) Multi-Role Medical Regiment''' is an [[Army Reserve (United Kingdom)|Army Reserve]] unit of the [[Royal Army Medical Service]] within the [[British Army]].
==History==
The hospital was formed upon the formation of the [[TAVR]] in 1967, from the amalgamation of 147th (South Midland) Field Ambulance, and 22nd (Birmingham) Field Dressing Station, as the '''202 (Midland) General Hospital'''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/vols-tavr/corps/ramc202.htm|title=202nd (Midlands) Field Hospital, Royal Army Medical Corps (Volunteers)|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071107110610/http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/vols-tavr/corps/ramc202.htm|archive-date=7 November 2007|accessdate=12 December 2020}}</ref> During the [[Cold War]], the hospital was under the command of the [[143rd Infantry Brigade (United Kingdom)|143rd (West Midlands) Infantry Brigade]], however upon transfer to war, it would re-subordinate to Commander Medical 1 (BR) Corps, and provide 800 beds with support from the Warwickshire Volunteer Band.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.orbat85.nl/documents/BAOR-July-1989.pdf|title=BAOR Order of Battle July 1989|page=27|accessdate=12 December 2020}}</ref> During the reforms implemented after the Cold War, the hospital was re-designated as '''202 (Midlands) Field Hospital'''. As a consequence of [[Army 2020]], the unit now falls under [[2nd Medical Brigade (United Kingdom)|2nd Medical Brigade]], and is paired with 22 Field Hospital.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://data.parliament.uk/DepositedPapers/Files/DEP2014-0042/20140110-PQ01968B-SOames-A2020-Update-Glossy-U.pdf|title=TRANSFORMING THE BRITISH ARMY An Update|page=15|accessdate=12 December 2020}}</ref>
