Military personnel are now assisting medical staff in a number of hospitals in the West Midlands, including in Shropshire and at the University Hospital North Midlands trust in Stoke-on-Trent.
Members of the military drafted in to work in Shropshire’s hospitals are covering for health care assistants after staff shortages meant roles across the Princess Royal, in Telford, and the Royal Shrewsbury were being left uncovered on the rota.
Army personnel are also expected to start work at NHS trusts in Birmingham and the Black Country.
At a regional Covid-19 update on Friday, Prof David Loughton, chief executive of The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, confirmed the military would again be supporting the region's NHS, as they did with their "absolutely pivotal role" early in the pandemic.
He said: "There will be military personnel arriving next week within my organisation and they will be working under the supervision of senior clinicians and nursing teams and carrying out a variety of duties.
"I believe that is similar across the West Midlands conurbation."
Spells of prolonged and heavy rain are set to cause travel disruption across the West Midlands, the Met Office is warning.
Homes and businesses are also at risk of flooding, it said.
The wet weather is expected to affect the region from late on Tuesday into early Thursday as Storm Christoph affects the UK.
