Nurse Call Systems
Nurse Call Accessories
All of our systems are comprised of, and can be optimised with, a variety of different nurse call accessories and upgrades.
Since 1968, Courtney Thorne has been known as one of the country’s leading manufacturers and providers of nurse call systems. Our products are a staple innovation of many healthcare providers, trusts, care homes and hospitals not just in the UK but across the globe – and one of the best features of our systems is in their ability to be fully customised and moulded to fit the specific needs of any care environment.
Whether the system has been built for a hospital or a care home, all of the nurse call systems in our various ranges can be equipped with a wide array of different accessories and add-ons, allowing for the implementation of features that can help your nurses and staff provide the strongest quality of care possible for your patients and residents.
With our engineering expertise and intuitive insight into the healthcare industry, we can harness state-of-the-art software, ground-breaking technologies, and great British engineering to create bespoke care solutions using these nurse-call accessories.
Displays
Displays are a key component of many of our nurse call systems, and one that can also be offered as an additional accessory. A display accessory refers to any of our individual products that can be used for displaying alerts and call information. One example is our CT Touch Panels, which are display panels that can be also be interacted with via touchscreen technology, and can be used to directly manage call data.
Paging Systems
Our Paging Systems are a category of nurse call accessory encapsulating all of our pagers, and the systems built around them. A Paging System can be integrated with the Nurse Call System to help carers manage multiple tasks at once, by notifying them of a call without the need to visit a touchscreen or display panel. Paging can also be used to reduce ambient sound at night. Amongst all of our pager accessories, you can find products like the pagers themselves, chargers, holsters, rubber cases, and transmitters.
Triggers
Triggers are another important aspect of any nurse call system. We can offer a wide variety of different triggers, all designed to quickly and efficiently alert your nurses and staff of any incidents and falls within the vicinity. Products like our Pressure Mats are designed to assist with residents who may suffer falls and accidents. The mats simply plug into the Room unit and are placed on the floor; when pressure is applied, an alert is sent to staff. We can also offer specialised trigger products, designed to assist with patients or residents with specific needs, such as our Big Button, for residents with limited mobility and dexterity, or our Infrared Trigger, for residents and patients in danger of walking undetected and suffering from falls.
Wireless Connectivity
Our wireless transmitter nurse call accessory allows you to connect up to 5 different devices at once. This innovative solution is designed to provide seamless connectivity between multiple products within a nurse call system, and ensures your residents stay safe, even during multiple emergencies or unexpected situations. Reliable, efficient, and easy to use, it’s the perfect addition to your safety toolkit.
Nurse Call Accessories: FAQs
- What is a nurse call accessory?
A nurse call accessory is an individual feature, solution, or piece of technology that can be added or removed from any nurse call system in our range. A nurse call system isn’t simply one complete material product; it is a complex network of various technologies and software that, when put together, make up the whole. At Courtney Thorne, we recognise that while we have specific product ranges that can seamlessly fit into most care environments, every organisation is different. When looking to install a nurse call system, some hospitals or care homes might need a few extra features to get the best out of our service, which is where our nurse call accessories come in.
- How do we categorise our nurse call accessories?
At Courtney Thorne, all of our nurse call solutions come in the form of several distinct product ranges: the Connect Range, the Altra Range, and the CT-08 range. Here, we categorise our systems not by where they are intended to be used (either care homes or hospitals) but by the type of system itself. When looking for accessories for any of our nurse call systems, you first need to check what type of system you have – regardless of whether the system in question is for a hospital or a care home. Depending on the initial system you chose, you will have a slightly different roster of nurse call accessories available to you.
- What types of nurse call accessories do we offer?
All the nurse call accessories we offer can be further broken down into several distinct categories, each with a different purpose and use within a nurse call system. Please see the next section.
- Can any system use any nurse call accessory?
Each of our nurse call systems can be equipped with near-enough any of the accessories outlined on this page and in our Accessories PDF. However, the product range your nurse call system belongs to may affect the specific accessory you will be able to add. For example, a Connect or Connect Health system pairs with accessories such as the Connect Call or Connect Touch accessories, whereas with an Altra Health or Altra Care system, you would implement an Altra Touch panel instead.
- How much do our nurse call accessories cost?
All of our nurse call accessories encompass a diverse range of different technologies, software, and materials, making it impossible to provide a specific cost for them. For more information on how much one of our specific nurse call accessories may cost, you can get in touch with Courtney Thorne here.
- How do I add a nurse call accessory to my system?
To add any one of the nurse call accessories in our catalogue to your existing nurse call system, you simply need to find the accessory you are interested in from our catalogue and then get in touch with our customer service team. From there, you will be put through to one of our experts, who can then discuss with you the costs and details of how to facilitate this upgrade to your system.
