Three forms of hospital signage that make visits easier

Going to hospital can be a stressful experience for most people, and they will be likely already be feeling anxious. Therefore, anything that can be done to make life easier should be carried out.

Signage is something that can make attendance a little less scary, and here are some signage types that will help with that.

Admissions and waiting area signs

There should be signage clearly informing people what they need to do – and where they need to go – from the minute they enter the hospital. Wayfinding signage and welcome signs should be provided in admission and waiting areas. These will direct people and explain the behaviour rules.

Directional and floor plan signs

Directional and floor plan signs are particularly important for large hospitals, but you will need them whatever the size. A big hospital with multiple floors will be impossible for a first-time patient to navigate without them though – and this can create unnecessary distress. Signs of this kind should be placed in prominent and logical places and at eye-level.

Disease treatment and prevention signs

This type of sign can help ease the worries of patients and emphasise important points. It can range from a sign reminding them to wash their hands to one that tells them to arrange a screening for a check-up. There can also be signs that provide information on symptoms to watch out for.
