I have witnessed suffering on a level I have never seen as a paramedic. However, this is not my suffering, this is the suffering of those that have died, become orphaned or lost someone – in some cases entire families.

They’re not my stories to tell and I don’t want to make somebody else’s tragedy my own, but I would like to try to explain why NHS volunteers are an important part of the fight against Ebola in West Africa.

When we were deployed to Sierra Leone, I did not expect us to save lives. I fully understood that a lot of the care would be supportive, there is no known cure after all.

We provide Ebola patients with, not only treatment that gives them the best chance of survival, but also basic nursing care.
