A group of NHS medical staff are due to travel to Sierra Leone on Saturday to help in the fight against the Ebola outbreak.


The group of around 30 GPs, nurses and emergency medicine consultants have been through intensive training in the UK and are the first co-ordinated group from the NHS to travel to West Africa to help treat people who have contracted the virus.


After they have acclimatised they will start work in a number of treatment centres.
