A Scots nurse has told of her panic after her son was rushed to hospital with a serious infection whilst she was abroad on holiday.
Beverley Voukelatos, 50, was in Greece with her husband Stathis and daughter Ariana when she took a call from her 18-year-old son Elias, who was at home and feeling increasingly unwell.
The Glasgow Queen Elizabeth University nurse said she knew it was serious when Elias told her his symptoms and she feared the infection was spreading through his body.

“After I apologised for waking her, mum told me she had been in hospital for a few days, but hadn’t told me as she wanted me to enjoy my holiday, without worrying about her,” said Beverley.
“So within an hour or so, I went from being carefree on holiday to having my son and mum both in the same
