Clear signage from the car park to appointment rooms or emergency departments plays a vital role in hospitals and healthcare. Directional signage showing the way is essential for patients, outpatients, whanau, visitors and medical staff. It saves valuable time, improves the customer experience, frees up administration staff, and eases stress for those visiting a loved one. Through collaborating with project teams and architects we design, manufacture and install wayfinding systems that provide the key information needed for effortless navigation of large healthcare settings. We turn sterile spaces into pleasant environments with additions like wall art, vinyl graphics, window adornments or frosting that provide space separation and privacy. We can brighten up areas like children’s, maternity or cancer wards with signage and art that makes these areas feel more homely. With all our wayfinding designers and crafters under one roof, we are able to create solutions to meet any budget and brief. “The team at Wise Studios collaborated with our team to ensure that we had a consistent look with all of our new offices throughout New Zealand. Their project management and professionalism provided an excellent result.” Irene Bates, EAP Services Ltd
Healthcare and hospital signs play a critical role in ensuring that patients, staff, and visitors can navigate healthcare facilities efficiently and safely. Moreover, effective directional can also save countless hours spent trying to navigate a large complex for all parties. At Wise Studios we have a vast experience in creating coherent and easily understandable healthcare and hospital signage schemes that give clarity and a uniform branding to your institution. This can be conveyed through to signage being deployed on doors, walls and rooms to give an overall identity for an establishment for a given department or for the overall faculty. We take considerable care to ensure this is conveyed all the way through your scheme - from safety signs to the wall art.
Here are some key considerations we take into account when designing healthcare signs:
Overall, healthcare signs should be designed to provide clear and concise information that is easy to understand and follow, while also considering the unique needs of the users and the environment. By designing effective healthcare signs, healthcare facilities can help ensure that patients, staff, and navigate seamlessly around the site.
At wise studios, our hospital signs are typically made from a variety of materials, depending on their location, purpose, and design. Here are some common materials that are used to manufacture hospital signs:
The specific materials used for hospital signs will depend on the specific requirements of the signage, as well as the budget and preferences of the hospital or healthcare facility.

Clear signage plays a vital role in hospitals and healthcare facilities for various reasons. It helps patients, outpatients, visitors, and medical staff navigate the facility efficiently, saving valuable time and reducing stress. Clear directional signage from the car park to appointment rooms or emergency departments ensures that individuals can easily find their way, improving the overall customer experience and freeing up administration staff for other tasks.
Directional signage benefits patients, visitors, and medical staff by providing clear guidance and information within the healthcare facility. It ensures that individuals can navigate the complex environment easily, finding the desired locations such as waiting areas, consultation rooms, or emergency departments. This saves time, reduces confusion and stress, and contributes to a smoother and more efficient healthcare experience for all parties involved.
We understand the importance of collaboration when designing wayfinding systems for healthcare settings. We work closely with project teams and architects to gain a thorough understanding of the facility's layout, requirements, and design vision. By collaborating, we can create comprehensive wayfinding systems that seamlessly integrate with the healthcare environment, providing the necessary information for effortless navigation.
Our expertise goes beyond wayfinding signage in healthcare settings. We can transform sterile spaces into pleasant environments by incorporating elements such as wall art, vinyl graphics, window adornments, or frosting. These additions not only provide visual appeal but also serve practical purposes like space separation and privacy. By incorporating creative elements, we can make areas like children's wards, maternity units, or cancer wards feel more homely and welcoming.
