Hospital Sign Systems

Sign systems and signage are without doubt a major part of the primary components that keeps hospitals functioning within the NHS and other private health organisations. As hospitals undergo larger expansions, with new wards and new buildings, both wayfinding and effective sign systems are becoming more and more of a necessity.  

NHS hospitals and healthcare buildings throughout the UK lose millions of pounds each and every year on patients missing appointments. Within the national healthcare funding being as limited as it is, hospitals can’t afford for multiple missed meetings from patients due to unreliable signage and staff having to be pulled away from their jobs to help direct patients. Staff also need to be able to find other departments or wards as quickly as possible, especially when patients often need immediate care. Therefore sign systems have become a crucial part of a solution to hospitals’ widespread problems.

Many hospitals often use colour coded systems and other designated wording to describe spaces and areas throughout a hospital. Any of these desired outcomes are achieved a lot more easily with a well adapted sign system that fits the need of each individual project.
