It's really, really hard however, to include all of the visual symbols that are right for every medical setting. If you like the look of these resources but think they could do with a tweak to adapt them to your medical setting, please, please get in touch. Don't rule anything out because it isn't quite right - I'd love to discuss other options for you. Communication is key.
