frequently asked questions
Nurses wear tunics to maintain a professional and hygienic appearance while ensuring practicality and comfort. Tunics are designed to allow freedom of movement, essential for healthcare tasks, and are often tailored to meet infection control standards.
Nurse uniform colours often indicate rank, department, or role within a healthcare setting. Colours vary by organisation and region.
While traditional white uniforms are less common, some healthcare settings still use them to convey cleanliness and professionalism. Many organisations may prefer coloured tunics to differentiate roles and make uniforms more practical for modern healthcare needs.
The ranks of nurses in the UK include:
- Healthcare Assistant
- Nursing Associate
- Registered Nurse (Band 5)
- Senior Staff Nurse (Band 6)
- Charge Nurse/Ward Manager (Band 7)
- Matron/Lead Nurse (Band 8)
- Director of Nursing
NHS guidelines emphasise hygiene, safety, and professionalism. Uniforms must:
- Be laundered at high temperatures to prevent infection.
- Be free of jewellery or accessories that could compromise safety.
- Include practical features like functional pockets and durable materials for industrial laundering.
The choice depends on the work environment and personal preference. Tunics paired with trousers are often more versatile and suitable for active roles, while dresses may be preferred in specific settings for their formal appearance.
Personalised branded nurse tunics can be created by adding logos, department names, or staff titles through embroidery. Alsico offers a comprehensive service to ensure your uniforms align with your organisation's branding.
