How C-T International can benefit your organisation
Whether working in a busy hospital ward or managing a care home with dozens of residents, nurses and carers across the globe rely on nurse call systems to enhance the standard of care they can provide. For this reason, we at Courtney Thorne have developed an international trade partnership programme known as C-T International, designed to bring these solutions (alongside myriad other benefits) to healthcare organisations beyond the UK.
This article explores how C-T International can benefit your organisation, whether you run a hospital, oversee a care home, or support a broader healthcare setting. We’ll explain what the programme is, who it’s for, and the benefits it delivers – all in a format that’s clear, helpful, and practical for your planning needs.
What is Our C-T International Programme?
At its core, the C-T International Programme is a trade partnership initiative we offer that allows organisations outside the UK to gain access to our full range of nurse call systems, accessories, and technical support services. With C-T International, our international partners gain access to the following:
- Export Trade Partnership Access: Organisations based outside the UK can partner with Courtney Thorne to distribute, install and support nurse call systems within their own territories.
- Full Product Range Availability: Partners gain access to the complete catalogue of nurse call systems and accessories, from wireless nurse call systems to cloud reporting tools like CT Cloud.
- Dedicated Account Support: Export account managers work closely with partners to support processes from tendering through to installation and long-term support.
Who is our C-T International Programme for?
C-T International is open to organisations based outside the United Kingdom. If your hospital, care home network, or specialised healthcare facility operates in one of the following international regions, C-T International provides a pathway to access Courtney Thorne’s nurse call technology and support services:
- East Asia
- Europe
- The Middle East
- Australasia
It’s worth noting that not all global territories are covered; regions such as Africa and the Americas are not currently supported under this programme. Organisations in these regions should get in touch to discuss alternative partnership or procurement options, if feasible.

If your organisation operates outside the UK and is involved in the delivery, procurement, or support of healthcare services, whether clinical or residential, then C-T International has been designed with your needs in mind. Several of the following examples of healthcare-adjacent organisations would benefit from this partnership.

What are the Benefits of our C-T International Programme?
Understanding the benefits of C-T International is essential when evaluating whether this partnership could improve your offering. Below are the most compelling advantages that your organisation can unlock by joining the programme.
1. Access to Best-in-Class Nurse Call Technology
One of the most immediate and practical benefits of the C-T International Programme is access to our leading nurse call systems, solutions that have been refined over decades of innovation. Alongside our flexible range of wired, wireless, and hybrid call bell systems, a C-T International membership also provides access to state-of-the-art nurse call accessories that can complement your care service, from staff attack solutions to mobile reporting tools. Having access to this healthcare technology means your organisation can deploy systems that precisely match your operational context, no matter what.
2. Dedicated Training and Educational Resources
A nurse call system is only as effective as the people using it. Through C-T International, partner organisations receive technical and functional training, empowering their teams to install, configure, troubleshoot and optimise systems confidently. Partners additionally benefit from sales and marketing support that helps them articulate the value of advanced nurse call systems to their stakeholders, whether that’s internal teams, board members, or external clients.
3. Preferential Commercial Terms
Commercial incentives are another strong advantage of this initiative. Financial benefits like trade-exclusive pricing and credit facilities make it easier for our partners to plan things like budget-effective upgrades or new installations – without compromising on quality.
4. Tailored Support and Account Management
Through C-T International, your organisation will have access to dedicated account managers who serve as your point of contact throughout the lifecycle of your system, from initial enquiry to long-term maintenance. This level of support gives your staff the confidence to rely on the system in everyday work and in emergencies, knowing help is only a phone call away.
5. Strengthened Organisational Reputation
Organisations that utilise internationally recognised nurse call systems can also benefit from a strengthened reputation overall. With our extensive history in the industry, pioneering nurse call technology since 1968, aligning with our brand showcases a commitment to quality and safety. This potential reputational benefit extends from clinicians and carers, to inspectors and regulators alike – all of whom rely on dependable nurse call systems in their lines of work.
