Trust launches new flu video

Staff at a North-East NHS Trust have launched an animated video as part of their campaign to raise awareness of the flu vaccine amongst staff.
The video, from Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust, follows a successful campaign last year that saw the most nurses vaccinated in the north east. 
The Trust hopes that this year’s campaign will inspire more staff to receive their vaccination.
Dr Damian Robinson, Director of Infection Prevention at NTW, explained: “Despite running a very successful campaign last year, we were concerned about the adverse reports in the media about the effectiveness of the vaccine.”
He added: “We want to keep everyone safe from flu this winter.”
The video can be viewed on YouTube or by following a link on the NTW website.
