The new £28 million hospital wing at Bradford Royal Infirmary (BRI) features a ‘bespoke’ Aid Call Touchsafe Pro wireless nurse call system.
In 2015 Aid Call began designing a system for the new wing, which houses a 16-bed ICU, two children’s wards, a ‘dementia-friendly’ elderly care ward, and a retail concourse. The company said: “The wireless Touchsafe Pro nurse call system is designed to adapt to change, to be added to over time, and for quick and site-specific installation, because there is no need to rely on cables and stationary wiring points.”
Building services consultants, DSSR, drew up the new wing’s specification with support from Aid Call and Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Aid Call explained: “Our team worked with many contractors and suppliers, including third-party bedhead trunking suppliers, to ensure our products could be mounted to the bedhead with sufficient capacity remaining to fit the light relays. The Trust also wanted to connect third-party telecare products, and while these would normally plug into the call points’ base, we worked to make the systems communicate wirelessly.”
