At Hardy Signs, we specialise in providing signage solutions for NHS hospitals, GP surgeries, clinics, care homes, and private medical facilities. From wayfinding and safety signs to branded displays and hygiene notices, our signage is designed to inform, reassure, and guide both patients and staff. We understand the sensitivity of healthcare environments and deliver signage that is compliant, accessible, and built to withstand the test of time.
Why Choose Healthcare Signage?
Healthcare signage plays a vital role in operational efficiency, patient experience, and safety. Professional signage helps to:
- Improve navigation and reduce confusion in busy medical settings
- Ensure clear communication of safety and hygiene protocols
- Meet accessibility and regulatory requirements (e.g., HTM, DDA compliance)
- Reinforce trust with professional, branded messaging
- Minimise the burden on staff by guiding patients independently
Whether indoors or outdoors, permanent or temporary, we provide the right solution for every healthcare environment.
Benefits of Healthcare Signage
- Enhances patient and visitor experience
- Supports clinical staff with efficient communication tools
- Promotes hygiene, safety, and infection control
- Ensures compliance with NHS and health regulations
- Reinforces brand professionalism and trust in healthcare environments
Health Care
Design Considerations for Effective Healthcare Signage
Healthcare signage must be designed for clarity, compliance, and inclusivity. Our experienced team ensures:
- Use of NHS branding and approved fonts/colours where applicable
- High-contrast, legible designs for quick comprehension
- Accessible formats, including tactile/Braille and symbol-based signs
- Multilingual options to support diverse patient populations
- Wayfinding strategies that reduce anxiety and improve flow
We work closely with estates teams, facilities managers, and healthcare planners to ensure every sign delivers clarity and confidence.
Materials & Durability
Healthcare environments demand signage that’s hygienic, hardwearing, and easy to maintain. We use:
- Dibond (aluminium composite) – for durable, wipe-clean internal and external signs
- Acrylic & Perspex – ideal for modern, easy-to-clean directional and ID panels
- Foamex & PVC – for lightweight, affordable messaging boards and notices
- Anti-microbial & anti-graffiti coatings – for infection control and longevity
All signage is printed with UV-stable inks and can be adapted for use in internal corridors, wards, waiting areas, car parks, and entrances.
Installation & Safety Processes
Hardy Signs offers a full-service signage solution, with safety, compliance, and minimal disruption in mind:
- Site surveys to evaluate needs, flow, and accessibility
- Full RAMS documentation for on-site works in clinical environments
- Experienced installers who work safely and respectfully around patients and staff
- Flexible installation schedules, including out-of-hours support
Our goal is to enhance the space without disrupting vital care operations.
