reassuring + informing visitors at stressful times

Julie Flannigan, Clinical Lead in Neurology at the Royal Free, Barnet contacted us back in 2021 having seen some of our work online and on social media.

Working with Daniel Epstein, Consultant Physician, Julie and her team saw that our graphics could improve visitor and patient experience and make life easier for the staff.

Our graphics

We designed a simple approach to signage and illustrations based around the 'Spruce Ward' theme. We developed a colour palette for the whole unit.

White-boards for use by each bed to allow staff to quickly keep a track on food and liquid intake, and what sort of help the patient needs.

Large format illustrations of rural scenes distract and relax.

A huge infographic in the entrance explains what a stroke is and what the impact on the body is.

the impact

The ward looks fresher and brighter. Patients and relatives are studying at the corridor artwork. The corridor graphic was definitely worth all the back and to and time taken to get it right. The graphics look great.
