Forces Given Extreme Ebola Training

A warning - this report contains medical simulations that some viewers may find upsetting.
 
 
After a promising decline in Ebola cases shortly after Christmas,  the 'bumpy road to zero' that experts predicted in the fight against the disease has become a reality.
 
The Army Medical Services Training Centre in York, meanwhile, has worked tirelessly throughout the epidemic, training staff, both military and civilian, in how to deal with the virus.
 
To do this effectively, they've had to create believable environments, exposing healthcare workers to scenarios that are as realistic as possible.
 
Forces TV's Hannah King has taken a look at the secret extremes they go to, to best prepare them for Sierra Leone.
