A facilities management and building services company EIC Ltd, has specified ADT Fire and Security to install its Medicall 800 Nursecall system at the new Cranleigh Health Centre in Surrey. The system with staff attack, double panic buttons and disabled WC alarm equipment, has been installed to enable staff to respond to patient calls throughout the new building.
Owned by NHS Surrey (Formally Surrey PCT), the £5.5m facility has been built to house the village’s health visitors and district nurses. The building has 19 consulting rooms, 12 for doctors, seven for nurses, three treatment rooms and one minor surgery room. It replaces an outdated-building, which was demolished in 2011.
When the new facility was designed, ADT’s Medicall 800 Nursecall system was specified as it could deliver a care communication system, providing call functions, direct communication options, different answer variants and interfaces to other electronic systems.
The system installed at Cranleigh also includes a Staff Attack system in the reception area, which with the press of a button sends a help signal via locally cited ceiling sensors to wherever backup staff are located. The level of alarm and call type will then indicate on all local LCD displays.
Richard Sansom, Senior Project Engineer at EIC Ltd, said: “The fact that ADT was able to deliver multiple systems at Cranleigh Health Centre was a huge advantage for us and one that really simplified the installation process. We will definitely look to partner with ADT again in the future, especially where safety and security is of the upmost importance.”
