Where we work
Operating from Bournemouth on the south coast of England, Courtney Thorne provides UK nurse call systems for healthcare providers nationwide
Courtney Thorne has been a leader in providing industry-leading UK nurse call systems since 1968. Our systems are specifically designed for hospitals, care homes, and healthcare providers throughout the UK and beyond. With a long-standing commitment to enhancing patient care and improving communication among medical staff, we have established a reputation for excellence, reliability, and a profound understanding of the unique challenges inherent in the healthcare sector.
With nurse call systems and solutions designed, manufactured, and delivered from expert manufacturing facilities in our UK base, Courtney Thorne aims to provide healthcare providers across the UK (and beyond) with the UK’s leading nurse call solutions.
Proudly Based in Bournemouth
As the premier manufacturer and supplier of nurse call systems in the UK, Courtney Thorne takes pride in our Bournemouth roots on the south coast of England. Our purpose-built headquarters on the south coast of England is where ideas become reality—housing our R&D labs, manufacturing facilities, technical support teams, and customer service hub.
Set just minutes from the sea, our Bournemouth base brings together the best of British engineering with a collaborative, forward-thinking culture. Here, our teams work closely across disciplines to design, build, and support the advanced nurse call and wireless communication systems trusted by health and care providers nationally and worldwide.
“Our Bournemouth headquarters isn’t just a workplace—it’s the engine room of everything we do. From initial design to final testing, it all happens right here.”
— Andy Vale, Operations Director
