About
Hospital signage for healthcare organisations
Hospital signs play a crucial role in helping patients and staff alike to navigate healthcare environments in a swift, safe and efficient manner.
Healthcare is more time-critical than any other industry. In environments where small mistakes can have significant consequences, effective and informative safety and directional hospital signs are vitally important.
We work closely with healthcare organisations to provide signs and graphics that are easy to interpret, while also boosting the look of healthcare environments, reducing stresses on both patients and staff members.
Why are
Signs in hospitals important?
From wayfinding signs that helping family members find their loved ones to safety notices which prevent unauthorised access or potentially hazardous accidents, signs play vital roles in the effective functioning of hospitals.

Healthcare & Hospital FAQs
- Q. What signs are typically used in a hospital?Collapse
Several signs are used throughout hospitals and other healthcare facilities. These include directional signs indicating the location of different departments or wards, informational signs providing key details about hospital policies and hours, emergency and safety signs, and more. For any hospital, it is critical to have a selection of appropriate signage systems.
- Q. What are the rules for NHS signage?Expand
The NHS has guidelines for both exterior and interior signage. Exterior NHS signs must be clearly branded with the NHS logo on the top right and use NHS blue and white as the predominant colours. Interior NHS signs, meanwhile, must use the same colours as well as either Frutiger or Arial fonts, with signage being as clear and simple as possible.
- Q. What materials are best for hospital and healthcare signage?Expand
Hospital signs should be durable, clean and effective. To achieve this, selecting the right materials is important. In the case of external signs, materials should be able to withstand adverse weather conditions and avoid rusting. Internally, signage materials should be light, durable, hygienic, while also being affordable.
