Hi there,

Yes you can join from 16yrs 6m as far as I'm aware. Just to add, Combat Medical Technician is an in-demand role, so you would likely have to wait a number of months before you are allocated a place to commence basic training.

You can find out more information here - https://apply.army.mod.uk/roles/army-medical-service/combat-medical-technician

Hope that helps
