The Basics
What Is a Nurse Call System?
A nurse call system lets patients call for help with one press of a button at the bed, in a treatment room or at a reception desk. The nurse’s pager or watch shows who is calling and where, so help goes straight to the right place.
A simple call bell only rings. A nurse call system also tells staff which bed or room called, and a wireless one needs no cabling, so it suits existing buildings, clinics and temporary wards.

Call for Assistance
The patient presses the call button when they need help.
Receive the Alert
Nurses are notified straight away, with the source and location of the call.

Nurses go straight to the right bed or room.
Call buttons sit within reach, so patients don’t have to wait for the next round.
Where It Works
Where Nurse Call Is Used
Three healthcare settings, and the series that usually suits each.
Hospital Wards & Bedsides

Clinics & Dental Practices
Buttons in treatment rooms and at an unmanned reception desk let patients reach staff without leaving the room.
Pharmacies & Unmanned Counters
Customers at an unattended counter press a button, and the pharmacist in the back is alerted straight away.

Compare
Wireless vs Wired Nurse Call Systems
Both alert nurses. They differ in how they’re installed and how easily they grow.
| System | Installation | Adding a bed later | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wired nurse call | Cabling run through walls and ceilings | More cabling work | New buildings where cabling is planned from the start |
| Wireless nurse call | Mount the buttons, with no cabling | Pair a new button yourselves, no software needed | Existing buildings, clinics, temporary wards and nursing homes |
