Patients at a North East hospital are encouraging staff to get their flu jab by designing a flu-fighting superhero named ‘Superjab.’

The Arts Project at Northgate Hospital in Morpeth, which is part of Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust (NTW), a provider of mental health and disability services designed some artwork to form part of the hospital’s flu campaign.

Jane Akhurst, Arts Project Manager at NTW said: “We love a challenge and we jumped at the chance to be involved in this year’s flu campaign. Part of the exciting challenge of projects like this is thinking up the ideas and one of the patients had the great idea of creating a superhero character.”
