Depending on the severity there would be different responses. But...
If a British soldier was dying (called T1 - for 'terminal' i guess) out on operation in Iraq or Afghanistan (I saw this on a BBC documentary about 2 weeks ago) then an RAF Chinook on standby is scrambled from the nearest base with a medical team on board. The injured soldier/s is then picked up and given emergency treatment.
On landing they are put in an ambulance and taken to the field hospital for further treatment (i.e. surgery).

Hele boppers take them out or if safe land transport and a medic will go with them if they have a critical on board if not the medics stay put as they may be needed...
SAS work in a different way as if your deep in enemy territory you can't call in a bopper as this would give your position away so you access the casualty if it is serious/critical they may have to be dispatched, stripped and buried and the make shift grave marked on a map for possible recovery.
If the casualty is non critical it would be dealt with by the unit medic and patched up the best way and taken to the nearest pick up point and the medic would stay back until the casualty had been extracted then rejoin the patrol who would be close by on overwatch....

Sharpy is right.
It depends on how badly injured you are. If it's bad then an incident response team will come and get you if there is nothing closer. Even though we are overstretched we always have aircraft on standby for CASEVAC. We dont have dedicated CASEVAC aircraft like the yanks though.
Sometimes it makes more sense to move a casualty in an ambulance as it is easier to treat them especially when a whole limb is lost. You have to weigh up what is most likley to help save the casualty. Speed+limited treatment vs's slower speed + more treatment.

Medics normally take charge and asses the damage first. if its seriouse they might call in a chopper. if things are on going he may be pulled back a few hundred yards first. if its not too bad your usualy helped into a truck.....but it depends on the situation. during the falklands conflict three! wounded were run back on a hand cart borrowed from the side of a house. British soldiers are very well trained and extremely resorcefull. they'l get you back one way or anouther.

I have nothing but the highest regard for our medical personnel they were effective and professional.

Soldiers look after eachother. If your mate got shot, you'd pick him up and carry him to safety wouldn't you? Then the medics take over.
