Princess Alexandra Hospital appointed Wayfinder UK to undertake a cohesive wayfinding strategy to produce an innovative solution to tackle issues of misdirection around the hospital environment.

Wayfinder UK were able to develop a detailed wayfinding strategy which worked in harmony with both staff and patients, increasing efficiencies whilst improving the brand image of the hospital. The hospital site was in the process of some development work, with new roads being built around the hospital. The team worked to create a cohesive strategy for the whole site, sympathetic with the structures design, both inside and out.

A strategy which would extend effectively into the wider environment without compromise. The consultants needed to guide visitors into the hospital from the roundabout, many visitors were simply missing the correct turning, leading to late and missed appointments. The team also realised that due to the hospitals ambition for future development that a flexible and durable solution was necessary, one which could be easily modified at a later date.

Princess Alexandra Hospital has enjoyed huge success with the implementation of their specified wayfinding system. The hospital worked closely with Wayfinder UK to produce a solution that communicates clearly and allows the hospital to function in an efficient and cohesive manner. These consistent improvements promote a greater level of understanding for staff and patients alike, creating a unified structure of success to take into the future. We have continued to work alongside the hospital giving advice and guidance where necessary.
