King’s Centre for Military Health Research (KCMHR
The King’s Centre for Military Health Research (KCMHR) was founded in 2004. Previously, we were known as the Gulf War Illnesses Research Unit established in 1996.

KCMHR is independent of Ministry of Defence (MoD) and is a collaboration between the Institute of Psychiatry, the Department of War Studies and the  Medical School], each part of [[King’s College, London.  The Centre's Directors are  Professor Sir Simon Wessely, Professor Christopher Dandeker and Dr Nicola Fear.

Our flagship project is a large scale study of the Health and Wellbeing of the UK Armed Forces. Beginning in 2003 with the start of the Iraq War, the study has expanded to include those deployed to Afghanistan.
