Staff at Darent Valley Hospital have some colourful new scrubs thanks to the son of DJ Chris Evans.

Some of the medical team at the Dartford hospital showed them off in a picture they shared on social media to say thank you.

A DVH spokesman said: "Our ITU staff have been wearing some very colourful rainbow scrubs thanks to the donation of material by Noah Evans – son of DJ Chris Evans – and the fabulous scrub team led by ex-ITU nurse Una O'Connor."

Much material over the past few months has been bright and cheery. Some staff are now wearing uniforms with festive designs such as Santas and trees.

One nurse said: "I love seeing all these bright colours in our wear this year. For me it’s just a natural endorphin release. Makes me feel happy when I see all the colours.

"Thank you so much for my Christmas scrub shirt. I’ve loved it, and it’s certainly been a talking point with my patients."

Noah launched a Crowdfunding page back in August as part of a wider fundraising drive.

His aim was to raise £2,000 for a voluntary collaborative of 400 seamstresses up and down the UK called Scrubs Glorious Scrubs, making scrubs and wash bags for NHS workers. The 11-year-old raised £123,891.
