Brave NHS nurses are paying to go to Ukraine to help soldiers and civilians in war-torn country

Brave NHS workers from Bolton who all met while helping with Covid vaccinations will be heading to Ukraine to teach soldiers and civilians how to give aid during the crisis.

The mixed group of various NHS staff are led by Marta Roscoe, aged 37, from Heaton, who has been organising the trip after she had the idea to go out and help in Ukraine, who are at war with Russia.

Marta is a coordinator at Wythenshawe Hospital, at the Hootons at BWFC vaccination centre and the Etihad Mass Vaccination Centre in Manchester. She will be joined on the trip by nurses Sister Louise Crossley-Birch, Janette Butterworth, vaccinator, mental health nursing assistant Michelle Piercy and paediatric intensive care nurse Nikki Forshaw-Mahon.
