Why have a medical form designed to your requirements?
As with other business, your stationery is an integral part of your brand – a visual expression of the image you wish people to have of your enterprise. Patients should not be presented with a piece of “shop-bought” medical stationery or some badly photocopied and cut slip of paper … They are paying good money for your services and the last thing you want to create is an impression that their perceptions of your medical practice’s image are of little concern to you.

From a practical point of view, it can save both time and frustration when a medical form has been designed to suit your requirements, with fields that give you the exact information you need – in the order that you need it.

The stationery I prepare can include your logo and contact details. Please contact me for details and pricing.

How much does a form design cost?
Despite being based on templates, the cost of designing a form to personal requirements can vary according to the complexity of such changes and the time required to make them, but my rates are considered as very reasonable by medical practitioners I deal with. You will always be quoted prior to any work being done.

An indication of costs is shown below:

  • For a Patient Information form: R250 for the first A4 page, which includes up to 5 revisions. It also includes the placement of your logo and contact details if required.
  • An additional R50 for inclusion of Terms and Conditions on the reverse (provided by the Practitioner, although I can provide guidance).
  • A5 Script pads and Receipt Book layouts range from R100 – R175.
  • Existing form which requires changes (moving fields, adding logo, contact details, or additional fields). Quoted per project, but use R200 per page as a guide.
    You will have to provide the existing form in either a PDF or a MS Office application such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint. Artwork such as a logo must be provided in either vector format or as a 300dpi JPG file.
    You could also select a form on the website and let me know what changes you would like made.
  • More complicated forms such as Billing Sheets will be quoted on individually. These might involve more than 1 A4 page or even A3 set-ups.
  • If you have an existing form you’d like me to revise, this will be quoted on individually. Simply email me what you have along with details of the changes you would like made.

What type of medical stationery do I design?
I have designed forms for over 1100 medical practitioners.  These are provided in PDF format which can be printed out by receptionists as needed, or given to your printers for production of gummed pads, carbonless books etc.

I also design or convert exisiting PDF files to make the fields fillable, so they can be mailed to patients prior to their visit to the practice. They can fill in all the required information and mail it to back to you. Read more here.

The range, which will be expanded, currently includes:

  • Patient Information forms
  • Theatre billing sheets
  • Anaesthesia forms
  • Receipt books
  • Script pads (A5)
  • Medical Certificates (A5)
  • Appointment cards
  • Dentistry Clinical Notes
  • Optometrist Spectacle Repair Sheet

What does it cost?
While the cost of each form might differ according to document size and complexity, the following basic rates give an idea of costs. A final quote and timing shcedule will be emailed to you when the project enquiry is received and evaluated:

  • Existing form which requires changes (moving fields, adding logo, contact details, or additional fields). Quoted per project, but use R200 per page as a guide.
    You will have to provide the existing form in either a PDF or a MS Office application such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint. Artwork such as a logo must be provided in either vector format or as a 300dpi JPG file.
    You could also select a form on the website and let me know what changes you would like made.
  • Completely new form to be designed.  Quoted per project based on complexity.
    Once the initial design stage is complete you will receive the unlocked PDF version for printing purposes, as well as a Word version.
    All the information must be provided: field headings, number of lines per field, sequence of fields.  Artwork such as a logo must be provided in either vector format or as a 300dpi JPG file.

Please get in touch so that I can provide more information.

How does the process and payment work?
It’s best to start by sending me a sample of your existing form, or a good idea of what it is you’re after. I’ll respond with an evaluation and quote within 24 hours. If you’re unsure of your requirements or need some guidance, I don’t charge for that, so just get in touch and let’s chat.

Once you’ve given me the go-ahead based on my quote, I’ll get cracking and you’ll have your first draft within 48 hours (unless there’s missing information or questions we have to resolve before then). I obviously have to password-protect my files, so while you will be able to do a low resolution print in order to help with proofing, the file cannot be edited in any way.

Once the final draft is approved and payment is received, I’ll send you the password for the final draft so you can give it  a test run, as well as a new unprotected PDF and a Word version. Payment is made via the Payfast portal, so I’ll email you an invoice as well as a link to the Payfast form. If you prefer, payment can be made directly into my bank account, and the details will on the invoice.

Can you be trusted to deliver?
One can give all kinds of assurances, but I think the simplest is for me say that after 26 years in a brick-and-mortar business in the same community, with my first clients still with me, I’d be foolish to tarnish my reputation at this stage. I own a printing business which interacts with clients all around South Africa, I’ve designed hundreds of forms for a huge variety of SMEs, and almost 2000 forms for medical practitioners and institutions (a special niche of mine).

Because I also write and publish fiction and marketing non-fiction, you can find me all over Google, so I’m easily traceable!
