Our women's scrub caps are designed with style, comfort and practicality in mind. Whether you're a surgeon, nurse, dentist or vet, find a theatre hat that suits your personality and keeps you comfortable through long shifts.
Women's heads and hair needs are different. Our scrub caps for women come in multiple styles including standard tie-back, bouffant (perfect for thick or long hair), and pixie options. Every cap features an integrated sweatband and adjustable fit.
From elegant florals to bold prints, Disney characters to anatomy designs, our surgical caps for women let you express yourself in theatre. We also offer satin-lined scrub caps to protect natural hair and reduce frizz (why satin helps).
Add your name, NHS role or department with personalised embroidery. Choose from 30+ thread colours and multiple fonts. Popular with consultants, theatre teams and anyone who wants their cap to be uniquely theirs.

Our most popular personalisation option. Add your name, job title, department, or credentials in your choice of thread colour.
Perfect for theatre teams where quick identification matters—studies show personalised caps improve team communication and reduce errors in high-pressure environments. We use commercial-grade embroidery tested on industrial laundry cycles over 100°C.
Design a cap that's completely unique. Upload your own artwork, department logo, or choose from our design service to create all-over prints. Ideal for paediatric units wanting themed designs, or departments implementing visual identification systems. Minimum order of just one cap.
A practical innovation for busy theatres. The integrated ID band displays your name and role prominently, making identification instant even when wearing masks and visors. Available in contrasting colours for maximum visibility.
Designed for textured, curly, or protective hairstyles. The satin lining reduces friction, prevents breakage, and maintains moisture—a thoughtful option that acknowledges the diverse hair needs of our NHS workforce.
Patterns and prints you won't find anywhere else. Our exclusive fabric collection features designs created specifically for healthcare professionals, from subtle medical motifs to bold statement prints.
In busy clinical environments, personalised scrub caps serve a practical purpose beyond self-expression. The NHS increasingly recognises the value of staff identification—knowing who's who at a glance improves communication, reduces errors, and builds patient confidence.
Our customisation options let you add your name and role, choose colours that match departmental coding, include your credentials or speciality, and express personality while maintaining professionalism. Every cap is made to order in our Sheffield workshop, giving you complete control over fit, style, and personalisation.
