Outside: Be Easy to Find
- A lit board or 3D letters that can be read from a distance
- Clear name, speciality and an emergency indicator if relevant
- Approvals. See sign board permission.
Inside: Guide People Calmly
- Departments, floors and rooms named in plain language
- Directional signs at every decision point
- Colour or icon coding for quick recognition
See office signage and wayfinding.
Accessibility
- High contrast text and good lighting
- Readable heights and clear spacing
- Braille and tactile elements where needed. See our Braille and accessible signage guide.
Keep It Maintainable
Plan for updates when doctors, departments or room numbers change. Modular name plates and vinyl panels are easier to update than fixed boards.
