203 (Welsh) Multi-Role Medical Regiment is a unit of the Royal Army Medical Service within the Army Reserve of the British Army, based in Wales.
The regiment was formed upon the formation of the TAVR in 1967, from the amalgamation of 3rd (Western) General Hospital, and 158th (Welsh) Field Ambulance, as the 203 (Welsh) General Hospital. [2] Throughout the Cold War, the hospital was under the command of 160th (Welsh) Infantry Brigade; and on transfer to war, would re-subordinate to Commander Medical 1 (BR) Corps, providing 800 beds.

[2] Under Army 2020, the unit was restructured under 2nd Medical Brigade, and was paired with the now disbanded 33 Field Hospital. [4]
Under the Future Soldier programme, 203 (Welsh) Field Hospital was renamed as the 203rd (Welsh) Multi-Role Medical Regiment and now is under the command of 2nd Medical Group. [5] [ citation needed ]
