Jackie is an NHS nurse with a side hustle as a volunteer in refugee camps in Northern France. After seeing the harrowing images in the media of young and desperate people washed up on European beaches Jackie followed her instincts to help and found herself giving basic first aid to refugees in what was then known as ‘the Jungle’. In her TEDxNHS talk Jackie describes her experiences in France and shares how these have influenced her practice as a nurse in the NHS. She reflects that compassion is something we can all give. You don’t need a medical or nursing degree to care. Sometimes, it’s just about throwing someone a rugby ball.
