Most doctors are currently dealing with an unprecedented crisis hitting them from all angles.
But there’s one team of medics volunteering what few spare hours they have for a cause equally close to their heart — Ukraine.
Children who have escaped the barbaric invasion of their home country are being treated for their illnesses by the doctors in the UK.
Professor Alastair Sutcliffe, a paediatrician at University College , set up the British Ukrainian Refugee Children’s Clinic in September.

Other volunteers include Dr Sanjay Suri (right), a community paediatrician whose day job is at the Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust, and Dr Jane Marshall (left), who usually works as a consultant paediatrician in North Yorkshire
Professor Sutcliffe said: ‘When I saw these children last year in these little hats, in the freezing cold being ripped out of their homes, I felt compassion for them’
