Hampshire medics run Afghan unit

Medical teams at Camp Bastion

Responsibility for running military medical facilities in southern Afghanistan has recently passed to 33 Field Hospital Unit from Gosport, Hampshire.

Four hundred medical staff - many from an NHS background - man state-of-the-art facilities at Camp Bastion in Helmand Province.

BBC South Today reporters Steve Humphrey and Allen Sinclair spent a week with some of the staff who save the lives of soldiers and civilians on a daily basis.
