Hospital ahead without accident and emergency facilities
A blue rectangle with the white H hospital symbol. Indicates a hospital ahead but WITHOUT A&E — useful to know if you have an emergency that needs urgent treatment (you'd want a hospital with the ambulance icon instead). Smaller community hospitals, maternity units and specialist centres often use this sign.
