CUMBRIAN GP TO JOIN BATTLE AGAINST EBOLA VIRUS

A Maryport GP is heading to Sierra Leone to join the battle against the deadly Ebola virus.

Dr Sean Hudson, 45, from Maryport Health Services, will leave the UK on December 27 to spend nearly two months in West Africa.

He will return on February 9 and will be isolated for at least three weeks before going back to work to ensure he has not contracted the disease, which has already killed thousands of people.

Although he has a young family, Dr Hudson said he wanted to help.

Married to Caroline Knox, a GP with the Castlegate practice in Cockermouth, Dr Hudson has three children. He said everyone had a responsibility to help.

He said: โ€œEbola is not just a West African problem, it is global. It is our responsibility to help resolve it and the best way for me to help is to offer my medical skills.โ€

He has not been given the Ebola vaccination now being tested in the UK. He is, however, undergoing intensive training in procedures of taking care of patients with the deadly virus.

He will be largely responsible for dealing with medical staff who are caring for patients.

Dr Hudson joined the UK International Emergency Trauma Register, which means he can be called up for national and international medical emergencies.

This took him to the Philippines last year after a major hurricane in November. He also spent seven weeks at the South Pole as part of the British Antarctica Survey Team.

In terms of risk, however, this may be his toughest assignment yet.

Dr Hudson will spend Christmas day with his family before he leaves for Sierra Leone.

He is a member of the Allerdale locality executive for the NHS Cumbria clinical commissioning group. He also looks after Maryport Hospital and has been an active campaigner to retain services there.

Sarah Cousins, practice manager for the Maryport surgery, said Dr Hudsonโ€™s colleagues supported him and were overwhelmed by his bravery.

She said: โ€œHe is doing it because he has always had a great desire to do humanitarian work, as he proved when he joined the emergency register.

โ€œWe have found a locum for some of his absence and are looking for more cover.โ€
