The current Ebola virus disease outbreak in West Africa has initiated the request for local and international healthcare workers, including doctors, nurses and healthcare assistants to volunteer to care for patients in Ebola treatment centres. However, there is limited literature available to prepare healthcare workers for this task. ⋯ This paper reviews the literature and captures the author's own experience of working in a treatment centre in Sierra Leone. It is hoped that this paper will inform healthcare workers considering deployment to West Africa to work in a treatment centre.
