Healthcare signage in Manchester
When you walk into a healthcare environment, what do you look for? You seek signs that reassure you and guide you to where you need to go. Healthcare signage in Manchester means that comforting sign at reception, the illuminated signs indicating the emergency exits and the arrow signs that help you navigate the corridors of a hospital.
Clinics, GP practices and hospitals are among our biggest clients, and we supply them with high-quality healthcare signage in Manchester.
Key types of healthcare signage
Directional
Our directional signage includes hanging directory boards for guiding people to wards, departments and exits, colour-coded route signs and and clear maps.
Department and room identification
We can supply door holders or plaques and acrylic panels for identifying rooms. We can also manufacture projection signs for identifying departments and consultation areas.
Safety and compliance
This includes hazard warning signs, and ones that highlight restricted areas and emergency exits. All our signs are guaranteed to conform to UK standards (for example red prohibition signs and green evacuation ones).
Information and digital displays
We can create different types of information signs and digital displays. Examples include notice boards, digital kiosks, signs that remind people of appointments and ones that inform them about waiting times and visiting hours.
External and parking
We provide post-and-panel welcome signs, ones that indicate disabled or staff-only parking spaces and monolith signs that indicate what services each building holds.
Why choose us?
We understand here at Ainsley Signs that healthcare signage in Manchester must be carefully designed. It needs large fonts and high-contrast colours to maximise legibility. It should also deploy pictograms that can be understood regardless of literacy levels and language barriers.
You will have a legal obligation to provide braille and tactile directional and room signage that features raised lettering. This is to ensure that your healthcare space is accessible to the visually impaired.
Finally, all healthcare signage in Manchester must comply with regulations like BS 8300 for inclusive design. It will be hard for non-professionals to design signage that meets these numerous requirements.
