Doctor in Charge/Doctor-in-Charge?

I usually post on the Women in War forum, but have a more general query and am hoping I've struck on the right forum.

I need to know fairly urgently (correcting book proofs) the RAMC's way of writing 'doctor in charge'. is it 'Doctor in Charge', 'Doctor-in-Charge', or just 'doctor in charge'? Was it a proper title, or just a job description?

would be really grateful for any info

Hello Jennian

The proper title was "Commanding Officer" (if we are referring to a medical unit, rather than to the medical officer with an infantry battalion or other fighting unit).

Drop all hyphens and capitals and just say "doctor in charge".
