ARTY Dudley students scooped a host of prizes at a contest to design a new logo for a new borough hospital children's service.

The Dudley Group of Hospitals' Paediatric and Neonatal Clinical Unit teamed up with Ellowes Hall School, Holly Hall Mathematics and Computing College and Crestwood School to design a logo.

Sophie Britton of Ellowes Hall scooped the top prize with Kelly Croutear, also from Ellowes Hall, bagging second place and Sarish Shad, of Crestwood, finishing third.

Pam Smith, matron for paediatrics and neonates, said: "Previously services were run from the Wordsley Hospital site and following the move to the new hospital at Russells Hall, have come together as one clinical unit and it is really important that the service now has its own identity.

"We also felt that it was important to have our own logo to identify us from adult services provided within the trust."
