Location QR codes for clinics

A location QR code drops a pin on your clinic and opens turn-by-turn directions in one scan — no copying an address off a letter. For GP surgeries, clinics and medical centres this cuts late and missed appointments, especially for patients attending an unfamiliar branch or a referral site. Print it on appointment letters and referral notes so the route is one tap away. Make one free below.

Healthcare appointments are often time-sensitive and patients may be unwell, anxious, or visiting a site they’ve never been to before — a community clinic, an outpatient annexe, a referral centre across town. A location QR code removes the navigation guesswork: it encodes your exact coordinates so the scan opens the patient’s map app pointed at the right entrance, with directions ready to start.

Where the pin helps patients most

  • Appointment letters — printed beside the address so the patient can route the journey in advance.
  • Referral notes — when a GP sends a patient to an unfamiliar clinic, the pin removes the “where is it?” call.
  • Multi-site practice leaflets — each branch gets its own pin, so patients reach the right building.
  • Community-clinic posters — pop-up and outreach sites are hard to find; a pin fixes that.

Accessibility belongs beside the pin

A pin gets a patient to the building; an accessibility note gets them inside without stress. Print “Step-free entrance on the ground floor”, “Blue Badge bays at the front”, or “Use Entrance B for the diabetes clinic” next to the code. Map apps only show the location, so any access detail — lifts, ramps, which door to use — has to live in plain text alongside the QR code, not inside it.

Make your clinic location code

From address to a print-ready pin:

  1. 1

    Drop your pin

    Place it on the correct entrance, not just the postcode centroid.

  2. 2

    Generate the code

    Create the location QR code in the tool below — it encodes a geo point any map app reads.

  3. 3

    Download as vector

    SVG or PDF stays crisp on letters and posters alike.

  4. 4

    Add an access note

    Print step-free, parking and entrance details beside the code.

One pin per entrance for big sites

Large hospitals and multi-clinic sites confuse patients. Use a separate pinned entrance for each department’s letter so people arrive at the right door, not the main reception across the campus.

Yes — free, no watermark, no sign-up. The pin is encoded in the code and never expires.
