A DUDLEY teenager has won a competition to design the cover of the welcome booklet given to children’s ward patients at Russells Hall Hospital.
Lily Piddington's entry came out on top after members of the public were asked to vote for their favourite via The Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust’s Facebook page.
The 14-year-old Holly Hall Academy student, who has chosen to study art and design for her GCSEs next year, said she wanted to keep her design simple.
Asked what inspired her pen and water colour design, she said: “I thought it would be nice to say that doctors aren’t anything to be afraid of no matter what’s happened to you."
She added: “I wanted to show the people in my design could be anyone, no matter what race they are.
“My mum and dad were really happy I won the competition. They are really proud of me.”
To reward Lily's efforts, Diane Wake, chief executive of the trust, presented her with a £50 intu Merry Hill voucher.
