FRONTLINE workers are cheering up their patients this Christmas with festive-themed scrubs, thanks to a generous donation. Staff at the West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven received a donation to purchase Christmas scrubs and face masks. A spokesperson for North Cumbria Integrated Care said: “Don’t they scrub up well!? Staff in the Emergency Department at the West Cumberland Hospital have had special festive scrubs made to wear over the Christmas period.” The NHS key workers wanted to bring some festive cheer into the wards during a particularly challenging Christmas period. A&E nurse Anita Howland suggested Christmas scrubs as a way of bringing some cheer.
