Wireless nurse call specialist, Courtney-Thorne, has installed its C-T 08 nurse call system at a new £2.48 million Cardiology Day Case Unit (CDCU) at the Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital in Grimsby.
The specialist centre brings together all outpatient and day case cardiology services at the hospital in a single location.
Courtney-Thorne has installed 16 nurse call room units for the unit. The nurse call system supplied, programmed, and installed, by Courtney-Thorne also includes pull cords for the toilet areas, and a nurses’ station touchscreen for real-time call management, prioritisation, and data collection.
The CDCU nurse call is the third C-T 08 system provided by Courtney-Thorne for Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust, as part of its strategy ‘to replace existing hard-wired nurse call systems with more flexible and cost-effective wireless technology’. The company has already completed a 55 room unit installation of the C-T 08 system for the hospital’s 36-bed B3 general surgical ward, including full corridor lamp installation, toilet pull cords, and nurses’ station touchscreen, and provided a standby ‘break-out system’, which includes 50 pre-programmed room units and two nurses’ station display screens, deployable within an hour should a nurse call system anywhere on the hospital estate develop a fault.
