Colour coded staff uniforms

We are a large medical practice with a large team. It's important that patients, staff and visitors can easily and quickly identify different staff groups. This improves safety and efficiency.

That is why we have standardised staff uniforms that are colour coded.

Registered Nurses wear navy blue tunics. Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) wear 'hospital blue' tunics. Health Care/Pharmacy Technicians wear white tunics.

Registered Nurses (RNs) wear navy blue tunics	Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) wear 'hospital blue' tunics
Health Care Technicians and our Pharmacy Technician wear white tunics

Receptionists wear a black and white pattern tunic.

The licensed physicians, our Practice Pharmacist, and the management team will continue to wear street-clothes ('civvies').

The staff uniform color coding for our Sherwood practice and our Strachur practice are based on the Scottish National Health Service (NHS Scotland) national uniforms (although we are still using the 'old' uniform style which is more appropriate for primary care) and the NHS Scotland staff dress code.
