QR code templates for healthcare and pharmacies.

What to print

• 01

  Reception and waiting room

  A check-in code on the desk opens your form, and a booking code on the poster handles the next appointment before the patient leaves.

• 02

  Patient leaflets

  A code on the leaflet opens the same instructions as a PDF or video, in a type size the patient can enlarge.

• 03

  Prescription bags

  A how-to-use code beside the label links to the dosage video or the leaflet. Do not print names or doses into the code.

• 04

  Clinic doors

  Opening hours, the out-of-hours number and a booking page for people who find the door closed.

Before you print

1. 01

   Never put personal data in a code

   A code can be photographed by anyone. Link to a page that asks for sign-in or a form; do not encode a name, a date of birth or a diagnosis.

2. 02

   Use a calm, high-contrast design

   Dark code on a light background, no busy frame. Older patients scan more slowly and from further away.

3. 03

   Check the page before you print

   A leaflet code is printed once and used for years. Keep the destination current with a dynamic code.

Questions

Can a QR code hold patient information?

It can hold any text, but it should not hold anything private. Link to a page behind sign-in and keep personal data out of the printed code.

Which code should a pharmacy put on the bag?

A PDF or video code for the how-to-use page. It works for every product in the bag and can be updated without reprinting bags.

Does a clinic need a dynamic code?

For anything that changes, such as hours or booking links, yes. A static code is fine for a fixed address or a phone number.
