It is the author's belief that Role 1 GDMO led medical care continues to be a potent and adaptable force, capable of operating efficiently and with a high degree of autonomy in potentially high threat environments. The medical team was able to adapt to the operational demand and retained the full confidence of the command chain, however the MO felt acutely aware of gaps in his New Entry Medical Officer clinical training. Short duration courses such as Advanced Paediatric Life Support, Basic Surgical Skills and MIMMS provide excellent added value for medical officers and increase self confidence. NEMO training in the future may benefit from the inclusion of these. Despite the challenges faced during the NEOs the Role 1 medical team in CUMBERLAND found the experience very rewarding and an example of what they joined the Royal Navy to do.
作者认为，由一级医疗官主导的医疗护理仍然是一股强大且适应性强的力量，能够在潜在的高威胁环境中高效运作并拥有高度自主权。医疗团队能够适应作战需求，并赢得了指挥链的充分信任，然而，医疗官深切意识到自己作为新入职医疗官在临床培训方面存在差距。诸如高级儿科生命支持、基本外科技能和军事医学与医疗技能课程等短期课程，为医疗官提供了极高的附加价值，并增强了他们的自信心。未来的新入职医疗官培训或许可以纳入这些课程。尽管在新入职阶段面临诸多挑战，但坎伯兰郡的一级医疗团队发现这段经历非常有意义，堪称他们加入皇家海军的初衷的一个典范。
