One of the latest developments in nursing uniforms is the introduction of gender-neutral options for nursing staff, which has led to a decline in the use of traditional white tunics for male staff. Traditionally, male nursing uniforms consisted of white tunic and trousers with epaulettes in a colour or quantity representing their year of training or


grade, but this is slowly going out of fashion, with tunics in either the dental surgeon style or a V-neck with a collar being preferred. As with female nurses, uniform colours vary with grade, area of work, and hospital with senior nurses tending to be in shades of blue or dark green allowing them to be recognised by the public as a person in authority.


A nurse’s uniform can convey much to both their fellow professionals and the wider general public. Acting primarily as protective equipment to shield wearers from hazards that may be present in the nursing or caring workplace, uniforms can be used to confirm identity, designation or status and seniority. Wearing a uniform can also engender public confidence and increase respect amongst fellow healthcare professionals by promoting pride and a sense of identity in the wearer, which can lead to increased performance and dedication levels amongst staff.


Grahame Gardner’s extensive colour palette allows you to create uniforms which truly represent your care homes identity, and makes your employees feel proud to be a vital part of them whenever


they put their uniform on. We can also customise uniforms and copy virtually any design or logo directly onto some garments through state-of-the-art printing, embroidery and monogramming techniques. Other benefits include free UK mainland postage and packaging on all orders over £99, next day delivery, and Made-to-Order options for fully-bespoke workwear. We also offer a free live chat web facility to keep you in touch with our team and updated at every stage of your order.
