Letterhead and prescription pad design for doctors and clinics

How doctors and clinics can design a clear, professional letterhead and prescription pad — what to show and what to keep simple.

For a clinic, the letterhead appears on prescriptions, certificates, referral letters and reports. Patients keep these documents, pharmacists read them and other doctors rely on them — so clarity matters more than decoration.

What to show

  • Doctor’s name with qualifications and specialisation
  • Medical council registration number
  • Clinic name, address and phone number
  • Consultation timings, if you want patients to see them
  • Clinic logo, if you have one

Keep the writing area generous

Prescription pads work best with a compact header and plenty of blank space. A5 is a popular size for prescription pads because it is easy to hand over and file, while A4 suits certificates and letters.

Footer ideas

  • A signature line with the doctor’s name repeated
  • Emergency contact number
  • A short note, such as “Not valid for medico-legal purposes” where appropriate

Readability first

Choose calm colours and make sure registration numbers and phone numbers are printed at a readable size. Pharmacists and patients should never have to squint at the details.

Pick “Doctor / Clinic” as your industry in Sahayak Docs to start from the Care Line starter design, then adjust anything in Create your own.
