NHS GRAMPIAN INTERIOR COLOUR TEMPLATE PROPOSALS FOR KEY AREAS WITHIN THE NEW ZONES

What is it for?

To assist general and local way finding in areas subject to refurbishment in ARI and in NHSG.

Why? In discussion with staff, including a senior Ward Manager, the Way Finding Manager and, by way of visiting depts., in Phase 1 and 2 ARI, there were concerns raised regarding ‘local identity’ including: • Public confusion over routes to Corridors, Wards, Staff Bases and Waiting areas • Old confusing notices (out of date and presented haphazardly).

• ‘Hidden’ Staff Bases/Reception Offices/Waiting areas (for Clinics etc).

• Privacy Matters - ie patients, visitors and staff unwittingly walking through or past Reception/Staff Base areas directly into wards and or treatment areas.

• General confusion as to how to get to and away from a specific ward via stairwells, lifts or corridors. See illustrated examples.

Main aim of this exercise is to assist Senior Staff in making informed choices for their staff - supporting the Zone system but assisting in identifying ‘local’ way finding within zonal areas (often covering long corridors, stairwells and irregular ward geography).

NHS GRAMPIAN COLOUR TEMPLATE PROPOSALS

HOW A TEMPLATE SYSTEM COULD WORK In the examples provided in this document the various components would be numbered at planning stage and all wall, door skirting & floor colours would be given the trade numbers/codes/names for easy reference in any given area. Over 60% of material colours would be standard in eg walls, skirtings, bump bars etc in an overall neutral scheme for the majority of areas.

Customising choices for Wards/Receptions, Staff Bases, Waiting areas within main colour zones.

The following 10 illustrations present suggestions/choices for colour ways for key local areas within the corporate 5 colour ‘way finding’ zones for areas subject to present/future refurbishment. It is assumed that the general colour way for most areas will be based on the Grey neutral scheme implemented in the ECC building.

1

This directional assist will be in the form of a a simple line or pattern/chevron in the key zone colour ie yellow, purple, orange or green to guide people to a key area.

“Follow the colour line/arrow on the floor or wall before the corridor door to go to Yellow Zone Staff Base.”

Key aim of this proposal is to provide a template of coordinated colour, which may be selected by staff units, to save confusing multi-choices becoming prevalent in key ‘Focal’ areas.

Special areas within colour zones For the five colour zones, 1-3 choices are presented for these special ‘focal point’ areas within these key colour zones.

By way of directional assistance to areas within these zones, the following file on Page 4 indicates how a way finding device (arrow or marker) to eg a Staff Base could be indicated as a patient, visitor/member of staff travel towards such a key area.

NHS GRAMPIAN COLOUR TEMPLATE PROPOSALS

TAKING YOU TO KEY AREAS WITHIN ZONES Wards, Staff Bases, Receptions, Waiting areas As a directional assist to these zones the file indicates how a way finding device to eg a Staff Base may be indicated so that patients, visitors/ members of staff can travel towards a key area.

This assist will be in the form of - a simple line or pattern/chevron in the key zone colour ie yellow, purple, orange or green to guide people to a key area.

Helpful words “Follow the colour line or arrow on the floor or wall before the corridor door to go to eg Yellow Zone Ward XX, Staff Base.”

Key aim of this proposal is to provide a template of co-ordinated colour which may be selected by staff units to save RANDOM multi choices becoming prevalent in Key ‘Focal’ areas.

To yellow staff base

Simple low cost devices ie inset rectangles or vinyl sections prior to a Staff Base could lead patients/ visitors to eg ‘Yellow Staff Base’ or common areas within zones.
