Students design research bus

Four university students in Bournemouth, Dorset, have designed the livery and mascot of a new NHS (National Health Service) research bus.

Lenya Hulford-Greig, Thomas Roberts, Annika Shaill, and Lucas Thompson-McClure, who are all studying at Arts University Bournemouth (AUB), created the design for the NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research), a partner of the NHS.

Operating across Dorset, Hampshire, and south Wiltshire, the buses will help deliver health and care research to underserved areas and communities, AUB said.

Ms Hulford-Greig, who, along with the other students, is doing an interior architecture and design course, said the project had been ‘a massive learning journey’.
