Medical leaders have appealed for NHS doctors, nurses and paramedics to volunteer to treat Ebola victims in Sierra Leone.

British military experts working alongside charities are setting up a 12-bed unit to treat infected healthcare workers and an additional 50 bed unit for ordinary citizens infected with the deadly virus.
