Your EDP is urging readers to write messages of support to brave nurse Pauline Cafferkey, who contracted Ebola in Sierra Leone.

The British public health nurse is no longer critically ill, according to the hospital treating her, with one expert stating that she is now likely to recover.

She remains in isolation at London's Royal Free Hospital where she is receiving specialist care and which said she is showing signs of improvement.

The news suggests she has 'turned a corner', although it is impossible to say how long a full recovery will take, according to Professor Hugh Pennington, one of Britain's leading microbiologists.

And as she continues on her difficult journey, your EDP wants to show her the nation's thoughts are with her by sending some positivity her way.

Write your message, together with your details, on the form below and send it to us, and we will forward them on to Ms Cafferkey.

Ms Cafferkey was diagnosed with Ebola after returning from Sierra Leone to Glasgow and was initially admitted to the city's Gartnavel Hospital on December 29, then transferred to London the following day.

The nurse had volunteered with Save the Children at the Ebola Treatment Centre in Kerry Town, Sierra Leone, before returning to the UK.

Her temperature was tested seven times before she flew from Heathrow to Glasgow and she was cleared to travel, but she later became feverish, followed advice given to her at Heathrow to contact local services and was admitted to an isolation facility.

In a statement last week her relatives said: 'We would like to thank all our friends, family and the members of the public who have contacted us with support following Pauline's diagnosis with Ebola. We have been very touched by the kind words.'
