'I felt I had to act' - NHS volunteers leave to fight Ebola

SATURDAY 22 NOVEMBER 2014
The first group of GPs, nurses and other medical staff leave the UK today to fly to Sierra Leone to help treat people with Ebola. More than 1,000 volunteers from the NHS have stepped forwards so far.
They are the first wave of NHS volunteers send by the government to Sierra Leone. Around 30 doctors, nurses, psychiatrists and emergency medicine consultants will travel to British-built Ebola treatment centres around the country.
