EXCLUSIVE: Army medic Jamie Jones compared the sprawling health hub, the makeshift coronavirus hospital NHS Nightingale, in London's Excel Centre, to Camp Bastion in war-torn Afghanistan
A former soldier has told how working at London’s Nightingale Hospital was “as tough a conflict zone”.
Army medic Jamie Jones, 41, retired from the forces in 2010 after 15 years and became a health adviser.
But when he was furloughed he helped build the 4,000-bed facility and then accepted an offer to do 12-hour shifts maintaining ventilators and other emergency gear in the critical resuscitation team.
He said: “Working at Nightingale is as tough as Camp Bastion or any of the other seven operational deployments and tours I’ve done – only this time the enemy is an incredibly evil and dangerous virus we still don’t understand.
“To see the scale of this place, how quickly patients can suddenly deteriorate, it’s genuinely frightening.

"It’s still early days but we’re dealing with patients requiring advanced interventions every day.
“We’re seeing people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, all age groups.”
Jamie, dad to Thomas, 16 months, added: “This is nothing short of a war and we all have to do our bit.
“I just want to show the public how big this place is, that if they keep going to parties and to the beach, it will be full in no time.

“It’s industrial, with the endless rows of ICU beds in preparation for an influx everyone prays never happens.
“All the nurses at Nightingale are nothing short of heroes – to be working alongside them, to see how they cope with this incredible pressure, it’s humbling.”
Jamie’s role is an Operating Department Practitioner (ODP), helping make sure ventilators and other emergency resuscitation equipment are fully functioning to save the lives of Covid-19 patients when their condition becomes critical.
He also forms part of a team that provides Advanced Life Support (ALS) when a patient is about to or has gone into respiratory and cardiac arrest as a result of their Covid-19 condition becoming critical.

Jamie’s son is being cared for by his ex-partner Emma’s sister while he puts himself in the firing line during each of his 12.5-hour shifts.
Jamie said: “I swore when Thomas was born I wouldn’t put my life at risk again, as I’d seen the affect it had had on children of other Armed Forces colleagues. But this is nothing short of a war, and we all have to do our bit,” he said.
While he says he doesn’t know exact figures, Jamie says the hospital is “getting busier by the day”.
The NHS will not say how many patients are at the hospital, built with the help of the military in nine days.
Leaked data showed that it treated just 19 patients over Easter.

And although he returned to La Liga action just six months later , he was unable to recapture the form that had almost taken him to Manchester .
More than 20 years on , Roa admits he has some regrets .
He said : “ At that time I was very attached to religion and bible study .

Roa’s decision to snub United caused Ferguson one of his biggest headaches. He spent a fortune on trying to replace Schmeichel.
But Raimond van der Gouw, Mark Bosnich, Massimo Taibi, Riccardo, Andy Goram, Roy Carroll, Tim Howard and Fabien Barthez failed to fill the big Dane’s gloves.
And it wasn’t until Edwin van der Sar arrived at Old Trafford in 2005 that Sir Alex found another consistently world-class keeper.

Roa, now aged 50, was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2004 after eventually leaving Mallorca to join second division Albacete Balompie.
He won his battle for health and is now on the coaching staff of MLS side San Jose Earthquakes.
The man nicknamed ‘Lettuce’, because of his strict vegan diet, won the Spanish Super Cup and was a runner-up in the Copa del Rey and the European Cup Winners Cup during his time in the Balearics.
But he will always be remembered by England fans for helping beat Glenn Hoddle’s side in a World Cup last-16 game after David Beckham had been controversially sent off.
Roa recalled: “Before starting the series of penalties against England, the coach Daniel Passarella approached me and just said, ‘Hey, look, we have to win it’.
“It was like he had put a 50kg backpack on me, but it ended up being a night of great satisfaction.
“My name was written in the history of Argentine football and will always be remembered.”
