Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Know the room first - Lamps in dim corridors - Answer by voice Quick answer At night a few nurses cover a whole ward.

Real products, live prices, in stock now ## Key takeaways - Know the room first - Lamps in dim corridors - Answer by voice - Less walking, more care ## The problem on the ward Night shift is the hardest time to run a ward: fewer nurses, more beds, dim corridors and patients who may be afraid. Imagine one nurse at the station and another with a patient at the far end. A bell rings somewhere. Without a call system the nurse walks the corridor looking for the door that matters. With one, the lamp over the door is lit and the station shows the room. Seconds saved on every call add up to a calmer ward and a nurse who is not out of breath. **Know the room first**: The call comes with the room attached. **Lamps in dim corridors**: A lit door is easy to see in a quiet ward. **Answer by voice**: A nurse can reassure a patient while on the way. **Less walking, more care**: Time goes to patients, not to searching. ## How a call travels through the ward How a call travels through the ward A patient presses at nightBed button or pendant Lamp lights over the doorVisible down the corridor Station shows the roomNurse sees it at once Nurse answersSpeaks to the patient where the system allows Nurse attendsClears the call at the bed ## What to check before you buy | Check | Why it matters | | --- | --- | | Lamp brightness | Visible in a dim corridor but gentle for sleeping patients | | Sound | A tone staff can hear without waking the ward | | Station position | Where the night nurse sits | | Handsets or pagers | For nurses away from the station | | Priority | Whether urgent calls look different | | Backup power | Night is when a power cut hurts most | ## How we set it up 1. **Talk to the night staff**: Where they sit, where they walk, what annoys them. 2. **Place lamps and the station**: Where nurses will see them. 3. **Set the tones**: Clear but not harsh. 4. **Test at night**: We check brightness and sound in real conditions. 5. **Train the shift**: Short sessions at shift change. ## 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 nurse in charge, not only the owner. Ask what a bad night looks like and show how lamps and a station message change it. Quote lamps for every door, a station display and handsets or pagers for staff who leave the desk. **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. We will quote the full nurse call setup, supplied, delivered and installed if you want it.

Choose a tone and volume agreed with the nurse in charge. We test it at night. Can nurses carry alerts? Yes, with pagers or handsets where the system supports them. Does it help a small night team? It helps most when few nurses cover many beds. What if the power fails?
