# Dates and times

## **Dates**

Dates are usually in this format: Monday 15 July 2018. When a date is automatically generated for an event, it appears as Mon 15 Jul 2018. Date ranges appear as 15 Jul – 8 Aug 2018. This approach deviates from the previous Wellcome style guide.

## **Times**

Use the 24-hour clock. The hour/minute separator should be a colon. Include a 0 at the start for times before 10:00:

* 09:00, 17:30

 When giving a date along with a time, put the date first as above, then a comma, then the time:

* Thursday 4 April 2013, 14:00–15:30

Event lengths are, for example, 30 min, 45 min, 1 hr, 1.5 hr, 2 hr.

When using unit abbreviations, always use numerals with a space
