In addition to receiving care, it is important for hospital visitors to be treated in a friendly and personal manner by hospital employees.
A name badge can clearly communicate who is providing care to the patient, for instance, whether it is a nurse or doctor.
Good name badges in nursing care make it easy for patients to see the professional affiliation and name of the person they are talking to. This makes it easier for future care and communication. Signomatic offers name badges in brass, plastic, aluminium, cardboard (Eco Board) and wood. Choose what best matches your personality or workplace!
In addition to the size and material of the badge, there are three main things to keep in mind when designing name badges for healthcare.

Text
Even if the name is in the centre, it is also important that the professional affiliation is clear. This reassures the patient regarding who is giving them information and what professional group to turn to if additional questions arise.
Symbol
A small symbol can transform an impersonal and formal name badge into something perceived as significantly warmer. This is common among assistant nurses and nurses working with babies and children. It is also nice to include a symbol indicating a hobby. A symbol of a football for a football fan can create agreeable discussions with patients.
