Lanyards are essential in numerous medical settings, from hospitals to clinics, doctor’s surgeries, vaccination centres, outpatient facilities and residential care homes.
Our customisable, branded medical lanyards can be pre-printed or tailored to your requirements, featuring bold lettering and logos that make official staff members and support colleagues immediately recognisable to service users. High-quality lanyards remain comfortable during the busiest shifts and enable clinicians and team members to carry credentials, security passes and ID tags everywhere, keeping their hands free. Please view some of our selection of medical lanyards below to learn more.
The vast majority of medical centres require staff to carry their passes or ID badges with them at all times, using cards to enter restricted access areas, staff rooms and treatment spaces.
Medical lanyards can also put service users at ease, where they know who to approach if they need assistance and can even differentiate between carers, clerical staff, nurses and doctors based on their lanyard colours or the text displayed.
As a snapshot of some of the ID&C lanyards often used in medical environments:
Staff Lanyards: These sturdy lanyards are pre-printed and available in a range of bright, bold colours for easy visibility. Dual printing on both sides ensures your staff designation or chosen wording is clear from a distance.

One Colour Print Lanyards: One-colour lanyards stand out, with bespoke printing to feature the facility logo, name, department or contact information. Available in four widths, this lanyard comes with your choice of clip.
Full-Colour Print Lanyards: Among our most customisable options, the full-colour print lanyard can be printed with any branding you wish – ideal for paediatric and family medical centres where cheerful colours put younger patients at ease.

Why ID&C?
Many healthcare clients we work with have sourced lanyards from ID&C multiple times and prioritise value for money, reliability and excellent quality lanyards they can trust to stand the test of time.
We are always happy to offer advice for hospitals and other facilities looking to design lanyards that feel consistent with their branding or provide specific features such as wipe-clean materials and badge holders that can be disinfected without damaging the clip mechanism.
Alongside our comprehensive range of lanyards, from budget-friendly, quickly-delivery options to fully customised products, ID&C offers:
Superb Value for Money: Most healthcare services have a limited budget and require lanyards in larger quantities to ensure all staff members have a recognisable uniform. We also offer premium quality lanyards ideal for visits from inspectors, assessors, supervisors, specialists and patrons.
Assistance With Lanyard Design: Our online design tool is user-friendly, allowing you to try different colours, text and placements before you place an order. Should you need further help, our design team is on hand to provide suggestions to ensure you are delighted with your finished design.
Speedy Delivery Throughout the UK: Each lanyard product page provides an indicative delivery timescale, with orders dispatched immediately once production and printing are complete. In-stock lanyards can be shipped with next-day delivery for urgent requirements using our trusted courier service.
Comprehensive Product Ranges: ID&C supplies lanyards, ID card holders, lanyard stands for staff rooms, variable clips and attachments, and every other accessory you may need to replace older lanyards or ensure medical lanyards are compatible with the size and format of your staff badges.
Lanyard Stands: Need an easy way to keep medical lanyards in a designated place or to store lanyards after sanitising? Placing a stand in your staff room ensures lanyards are always available for employees, locums and visitors.
Visitor Lanyards: Hospitals and clinics receive countless visitors, from engineers and tradespeople to delivery drivers and consultants. Having visitor lanyards on hand provides a quick way to differentiate between staff and visitors and ensure they have their access credentials on display.
Badge Reels: Our badge reels are a great alternative to a lanyard where colleagues cannot wear lanyards for safety reasons or if you wish to provide options for staff to display their security badges or name tags.
Childrens Wristbands: Pediatric centers, immunisation clinics and other services for younger children often use silicone ID wristbands to ensure information about each child is clearly shown and to prevent infants from picking or tearing paper wristbands.
Charity Silicone Wristbands: Perfect for fundraisers, awareness initiatives, and campaigns, charity wristbands are a keepsake, a giveaway for donors, and a sign of appreciation for people who contribute to a cause or collection scheme.
Volunteer Vinyl Wristbands: Volunteer wristbands make it easy to differentiate between staff, paid contractors and volunteers. Especially in a hospital setting, identifying volunteers is important to ensure they are well looked after and aren’t mistaken for a staff member.
A lot depends on the lanyard you order, the level of customisation needed, and the quantity. In-stock lanyards that do not need printing can be dispatched the same day if we receive your order before 2 pm, with next-day courier delivery available. Other lanyards that require bespoke printing will require a short turnaround time – you will find full details of dispatch dates on each product ordering page, where we display the exact date on which your order will be complete.
Yes – we offer a full range of printing techniques, whether you’d like to add a department name or facility logo to a full-colour lanyard or require a completely bespoke sublimation print. Our online Lanyard Design Tool offers a great way to see what your finished design will look like, or you can get in touch if you’d like some pointers to work out which lanyards will align best with your objectives.
Lanyards from ID&C come with durable clips as standard, which can clip onto any ID badge or security pass holder through the pre-cut hole. If you have a specific size or dimension of ID card or need medical lanyards to match your existing ID holders, you can review multiple alternative types of clips, including double clips, on each product page.
