About NHS Stay Well This Winter 1

The purposeStay Well This Winter (SWTW) is a campaign that has been designed to reach the most vulnerable groups in our society providing them with clear, practical guidance on what they can do to stay as healthy as possible.

The messages are always about preventative measures that can help keep the elderly or those with long-term health conditions out of hospital. And the various messages are always delivered by a health care professional as they naturally bring authority to the message and seeing it come from a person, rather than the NHS, brings warmth and reassurance to communications too.

NHS Stay Well This Winter - Identity basic elements 2

Our logo expresses the programme’s message through its immediacy, use of the NHS colour and confident typography. It is crucial to reproduce our logo correctly and consistently, so that the brand appears correctly and consistently in everycommunication.

When using the Stay Well logo, it is importantthat it always appears in conjunction with the NHS logo, because it is a service provided by the NHS.

NHS Stay Well This Winter - Relationship to NHS Logo 3

The NHS is recognised spontaneously by over 95% of the public, and carries high levels of trust and credibility. By using the SWTW identity with the NHS corporate identity correctly, you can help to reassure people that the SWTW campaign is part of the NHS family.

When pairing the SWTW logo with the NHS logo, the NHS logo should be used only once on the page, in the top right position.

It is important that you use the NHS logo correctly and consistently across all applications. Always use the logo in accordance with our main brand guidelines, and make sure you do not alter the logo in any way. For further guidance on using the NHS lozenge visit:

Exclusion Zone

There must always be a prescribed amount of clearspace around our SWTW logo to prevent any secondary material from undermining its integrity or authority. This is the minimum area around the logo that must remain clear of typography or any other graphic device. The measurement for the exclusion zone is calculated by using the height of the ‘T’. The formula is shown here and applies to all sizes and versions of the logo (1).

Minimum size of logoTo ensure legibility, the SWTW logo should never be reproduced any smaller than 30mm wide (2). This ensures that the logo complies with Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) recommendations.

All greyscale logo variationsThese versions of the logo should be used if only onecolour can be printed (3).

NHS Stay Well This Winter - Relationship to other logos 7

Relationship to other logos

There may be occasions when SWTW is not the main campaign, and acts in association with others. Quite often, SWTW will be one of several partners promoting one piece of communication. In these instances, it is important that the correct exclusion zone be adhered to, for all of the respective logos.

The hierarchy example on the left illustrates how a NHS branded web page might highlight an endorsement of the SWTW campaign. The main NHS logo is in the top right, and the SWTW identity is given equal billing with other partnership brands/campaigns along the bottom of the homepage.

NHS Stay Well This Winter - Communications 8

Communications

The aim of any communication within this campaign should be to deliver clear guidance to specific target audiences regarding what they can do to stay as healthy as they can and avoid getting seriously unwell.

Copy We always open with a question in order to reach the specific audience we are speaking too. This is followed by the same structure for copy, what they need to do, why it’s important and where they can get it.

Image We always feature the relevant health care professional. For example a nurse advising parents on the importance of the flu vaccine for young children.

Alert graphic This is the background we consistently use and is designed to give a sense of important information being provided by our HCP.

Branding Follow guidance on pages 5, 6 & 7.

The following pages provide more detail on each of the elements that should always be included in any layout.

Flu can be serious for young children.

Help protect them from flu with one simple nasal spray. It’s free, fast and painless. Don’t put it off. Take up the offer from your GP as soon as you can.

NHS Stay Well This Winter - Messaging structure 9

Messaging

For any communication be it a poster or a digital banner we should always adhere to a strict structure.

Headline To effectively reach our disparate audiences, we should always use a question in the headline, so that it is very clear that this is important information that relates to them.

CopyTo make it really easy to understand the information, we should use the same structure each time:

What – they need to know or doWhy – it’s importantWhere – they can go to get help and advice

Tone of voiceAs we need to deliver information quickly and succinctly, the priority should be clear messaging. The image of our health care professional provides the warmth and reassurance we need.

Background

Our communications have an alert style spread of colour as a background, this alert graphic starts with a light vibrant colour and works its way outwards to a darker hue of the same colour.

We use the alert graphic as a tool to frame the NHS practitioner, as they are projecting an important and sometimes urgent message.

Breathing cold air increases the danger of catching colds, flu and serious chest infections.

Keep your rooms warm - at least 18º Centigrade (that’s 65º Farenheit) - if you can.

Do you have breathing problems or are you over 65?

NHS Stay Well This Winter - Logo relationship with communications 13

Logo & communications

When using the SWTW logo on any communications within the campaign, it should work as a sign off line to the message. Within the hierarchy of the layout our logo should come after the headline, subhead and call to action.

The white keylines on the communication house the headline, subcopy and call to action. Placing our logo below the second keyline, (bearing in mind our logo’s exclusion zone), is an ideal position for a sign off message.
