Mission hospitals stretch every resource. Here is how a simple, durable call system helps.
Key takeaways
- Simple and durable
- Easy to support
- Start with the busiest ward
- Staff time saved
01The problem
A mission hospital often has dedicated, overworked staff and tight resources. A call system should be simple, durable and easy to repair with local support. A small, well-chosen system on the busiest wards does more than a complicated one nobody can maintain.

05What 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.
06How to put it to the hospital
Start with the problem in a mission hospital that the people you are speaking to already know, then show the lamp over the door and the message at the station. Quote the buttons, call points, lamps and station for a mission hospital, and say clearly that the system supports staff and does not replace rounds.
