Northumbria NHS Foundation Trust hired Allsigns to replace the existing external wayfinding signs at North Tyneside General Hospital as a pilot project. Allsigns conducted site surveys, designed new sign layouts according to NHS guidelines, and successfully installed the new signs on schedule in March 2009. Following the success of this pilot project, the rest of the Trust's sites will update their signage during 2010-2011.

1. Northumbria NHS Foundation Trust:
North Tyneside General Hospital.
Allsigns successfully tendered for the
removal of existing and supply of new
external wayfinding signage for the
Northumbrian NHS Trust Headquarters
based at the North Tyneside General
Hospital.
This was to be a pilot project to
replace all the existing signs around the
site and update them to the new NHS
wayfinding guidelines.
Following a comprehensive series of site
surveys new signs locations were decid-
ed upon and all the design layouts were
produced for the intended signage. The
scheme was successfully installed on
time and in full during March 2009.
Following the success of this pilot
scheme the rest of the Trust’s sites will
be updated during 2010/11.
“Allsigns successfully won a tender to manufacture and install external post and panel signage when
Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust decided to rebrand and publicise our message to the
population of Northumbria, which is “Here for you”.
Allsigns conducted their work from start to finish in a professionally and efficient manner, laising with our
Estates Technical Officer to ensure our satisfaction.
Based on the level of service we
received, we have asked Allsigns
to assist us in the rolling out of the
new branding to other sites within
our Trust. I would have no hesita-
tion in recommending them on all
future projects”.
