Real products, live prices, in stock now ## Key takeaways - A lamp over every door - Colours that mean something - A message in the corridor - Seen from both ends ## The problem on the ward A long corridor is a problem in itself. A call that only rings at the station sends a nurse down the corridor to check each room. A lamp over each door, plus a display that names the room and the kind of call, turns the corridor into a map: the nurse sees at a glance which door to go to, and how urgent it is. Families also see that a call has been registered, which calms the waiting. **A lamp over every door**: One per room, easy to see from the corridor. **Colours that mean something**: Agree what each colour means and post it at the station. **A message in the corridor**: A display names the room and the call. **Seen from both ends**: Position so nurses see it as they walk. ## How a call travels through the ward How a call travels through the ward Bed or bathroom callA press or a pull Lamp over the doorLit in the call's colour Corridor displayShows room and priority Nurse sees bothFrom either end of the corridor Call clearedLamp and message clear together ## What to check before you buy | Check | Why it matters | | --- | --- | | One lamp per room | Count doors, not beds | | Colour code | Agree it with the matron and write it on a card | | Display position | Where nurses pass most, readable from both ends | | Message wording | Short, clear, in the language your staff use | | Brightness | Visible by day, gentle at night | | Power and cabling | Plan it with the installer | ## How we set it up 1. **Walk the corridors**: Mark every door and the best display positions. 2. **Agree the colour code**: A short card for the station and the staff room. 3. **Fit the lamps**: Above each door. 4. **Mount the display**: At eye level, visible from both ends. 5. **Test with real calls**: From every bed and bathroom. ## What we supply We design, supply and install nurse call systems for wards, clinics and care homes, on IP and SIP networks. Fanvil's IP nurse call range is one option we quote, alongside others, and we recommend whichever fits your ward. Send us the room count and we reply with a written quote. ## How to put it to the hospital or care home Pitch to the administrator: lamps and displays are the visible part of a call system and the part visitors notice. Quote a lamp for every room and a display for every long corridor, and offer to post a clear colour card at the station. **Tip**: Installers and resellers: ask for a trade quote and we deliver the whole list to your site in one trip. ## Get a free survey and quote **When to call a professional**: Tell us about your ward or care home: how many beds, rooms and bathrooms, and where the nurses' station is.
