Graphics

Our graphics department produces patient information, clinical documentation and training materials which play a crucial role in the care and treatment of patients during their hospital stay, outpatient appointments, and aftercare once they go home. We can also produce annual reports, interactive forms and digital files for screens. Projects are managed from conception through to finished print and we work very closely with our photographic section, and on-site print unit.

Poster Service

Posters for scientific meetings, conferences, and promotional use can be produced by our Poster Service on high quality glossy paper, processed by a large-format, high resolution, ink jet printer. The Poster Team can also provide help and advice for Cardiff and Vale UHB Meeting/Conference Organisers.

Medical Illustration & Surgical Art

Our designers support healthcare professionals within the hospital by producing accurate anatomical illustrations for patient care and treatment, educational purposes and research.

General Photography

General photography includes public relations images for promotions and public awareness campaigns, as well as portraiture, photography of equipment and scanning. We cover a wide range of subjects and events, from presentations and conferences to group portraits. Images can be provided for publications, displays, public information leaflets and digital files. Personal injury and medicolegal photography is a specialist service for solicitors and their clients.

Video & Animation

We can produce videos for education, promotion and training. Our sound booth enables us to capture high quality audio to give a professional post-production result. We also have an animation service which has proved popular with departments looking to help patients who may have difficulty reading information and would prefer something more visual to assist in their care.
