Walid Jarad worked as a nurse in intensive care for six years before coming to the UK
Refugee nurses are being fast-tracked into the NHS as part of a pioneering scheme in Liverpool. Those involved explain why the pandemic means it's vital the UK uses their medical experience.
Until last month, Walid Jarad had lived in just two t-shirts and two pairs of jeans for a whole year, washing them on rotation. He'd lived in three hotels and a shared house in London, moving every couple of months.
As an asylum seeker for his first year in the UK he wasn't allowed to work. Then came Covid-19 and Walid had to watch his medical qualifications go unused at a time they were so desperately needed.
