When you work in a hospital, you know that your workwear is put through the wringer daily. That, of course, sets high demands for both the quality and functionality of your workwear. But there are also other things you need to keep in mind when ordering staff apparel for nurses and doctors.
As with any workwear, durable materials and decent construction make a difference in your workday. An active every day in a hospital needs to go by without you having to worry about your trousers being see-through or your shirt tearing on a sharp edge. A comfortable uniform However, durability should never come at the sacrifice of comfort. After all, you wear your uniforms for many hours and (almost) year-round. Putting on your uniform should, therefore, be a pleasant experience - not an annoying one. Your checklist for choosing staff apparel for healthcare professionals: 1. Be wary of see-through quality fabrics As a nurse or a doctor, you need to be able to focus on your patients, not worry about whether your undies are showing. 2. Go for practical and spacious pockets Whether you need a lab coat, scrubs, a tunic, or a shirt; pockets are indispensable. We recommend large, deep hip pockets and a chest pocket. 3. Go for a good fit Poorly fitting workwear can make for unhappy staff. Offering a selection of different fits enables your nurses and doctors to wear the uniform that fits them best. For an even better fit, we recommend using workwear with elastic waist or back panel. After all, the stretchy material snugly hugs the wearer's body, no matter their body shape. 4. Quality made for the healthcare industry Your new uniforms are going to be washed repeatedly, at high temperatures. You will notice that garments specifically designed for use in the healthcare industry, can withstand the stringent hospital laundry process, leaving you with beautiful uniforms that last. 5. Choose the right sizes Staff members come in all shapes and sizes. Make sure you have garments for them all - both existing and new staff members. If needed, we can assist you with recommendations to which sizes are commonly required. As per usual – or something new? For some customers, staff apparel as per usual is the way to go. For others, a few minor adjustments to standard items will do the trick. But even when you need to have developed an entirely new collection of staff apparel, based on specific demands, needs, or wishes, we can be of assistance. No matter which solution you prefer, you are more than welcome to contact us. Naturally, we can provide you with a quotation for a specific product, but we can also act as your sounding board, should you so require. Do you need new uniforms for the entire hospital? We can guide you to the right fabrics and qualities. We strongly recommend setting up a task force that can map the different department's needs and wishes. The task force can then weigh the various options and wishes, and find the staff apparel that best suits all needs. |
