Gp Capt Myhill joined the RAF as a dentist in 2003. She delivered clinical care to patients in various locations across the UK and whilst on operations in Iraq for over 10 years, before embarking on a career with more of a focus on policy, future healthcare delivery and leadership of all aspects of Defence Primary Healthcare.

“It is an absolute honour to be a Trustee of the charity having seen first hand the benefits to patients, as part of the holistic approach to their rehabilitation pathway, as well as to the staff who care for those who serve their country.”

Craig Haslam served 16 years as a Royal Marine after joining at 17 years old. He served the remainder of his career in the Special Forces before being medically discharged in 2017 after 27 years of military service. 

Whilst training for an Ironman in 2015, Craig was involved in a life altering road traffic accident after being hit by a car whilst riding his bicycle.  He sustained a myriad of injuries, including a brain injury, and was admitted to the amazing care of the trauma unit at DMRC. 

DMRC were instrumental in Craigs rehabilitation and he was humbled by the way that the staff looked after him and aided in his rehabilitation and recovery. The Rehabilitation of injured serving personal is unique and complex. Being a member of the armed forces is more than a career choice, their occupation is intricately tied to their identity. This means that even when seriously ill or injured, most military personal are still prioritising work and their colleagues above their own wellbeing. Looking back on that time Craig is overwhelmed at how the staff had his best interests at heart even when he didn’t, he just wanted to get back to work! Craig credits the diverse, tailored and immersive rehabilitation he received with his recovery. 

Craig has passion for supporting charities and the wider military and veteran community. He has supported the Bowra Foundation, the SBSA and in 2019 he raised a substantial amount of money for DMRC Benevolent fund with a solo charity cycle ride. 

After adjusting to being a civilian and a small business owner over the last few years, Craig felt that he was now able to give a larger commitment to DMRC Benevolent fund and applied to become a trustee. Craig is looking forward to serving with the rest of the board in his first position as a trustee.
