Wired Nurse Call Systems for Hospitals and Care Facilities

Wired Nurse Call Systems for Hospitals and Care Facilities

Fixed cabling links every call point, bedhead unit and ensuite pull cord back to the controller. Calls appear on overdoor lights, corridor displays and central annunciation, so staff know which room and go straight there.

How we work

A clear path from first conversation to finished work.

  1. Wired Nurse Call Systems

    Hardwired nurse call solutions for new builds and major refurbishments, covering room call points, corridor displays and central annunciation across wards, wings and whole facilities.

  2. Wireless Nurse Call Systems

    Radio-based nurse call setups suited to retrofits, heritage buildings and staged rollouts where cabling is impractical, including pendants, pull cords and portable receivers.

  3. Call Points, Alarms and Annunciators

    Patient call buttons, bedhead units, ensuite pull cords, staff attendance points, overdoor lights and audible or visual alarm devices to suit a range of care environments.

  4. Accessories, Spares and Replacement Parts

    Supporting components such as leads, pendants, mounting plates, power supplies and replacement modules to maintain or expand systems already in service.

Typical components

Inside a hospital nurse call system

Each part does one job well. Together they form a single cabled circuit from the bedside to the staff base.

Room call points

Wall-mounted call buttons at the bed, chair or door. Pressed by a patient or resident, they raise the call and hold it until staff attend.

Bedhead units

Fitted above the bed and wired into the room circuit. They carry the call button, reassurance indicator and lead socket for a handset or pendant.

Ensuite pull cords

Cord-operated call points for bathrooms and ensuites, reachable from floor level after a fall.

Staff attendance points

Cancel and presence units inside the room. Staff register their attendance, clear the call and set an assistance call if more help is needed.

Overdoor lights

Mounted above the doorway so a call is visible along the corridor. Colour and flash patterns separate a routine call from an emergency.

Corridor displays and annunciators

Text displays down the corridor and central annunciation at the staff base, showing room, call type and waiting time.

Where wired suits

Built in, not bolted on

Wired suits projects where cable can be run before walls close, and where the facility wants one permanent backbone across wards, wings and whole buildings.

New builds

When the building is still going up, containment and cabling go in with the rest of the services. Call points, bedhead units and overdoor lights sit flush and permanent, and the corridor displays land exactly where the ward layout needs them.

Major refurbishments

Ward strip-outs are the natural moment to replace ageing equipment. With ceilings and walls open, a full room-by-room circuit can be run in one go rather than patched wing by wing.

Facility-wide backbone

One cabled network can serve several wings and floors, with calls annunciated centrally as well as locally. Extending later is a matter of adding devices to the existing infrastructure.

Hospitals, aged care and clinics

Hospitals, aged care and residential care homes, clinics and assisted living facilities all specify wired systems. Device mix changes with the setting — more ensuite pull cords in residential care, more bedhead positions on an acute ward.

Wired or wireless

Wired needs cable routes, so it belongs in construction and refurbishment programmes. Where a building is occupied, heritage-listed or being upgraded in stages, a radio-based system avoids the disruption.

Quick answers

Common questions on wired systems

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a wired nurse call system?
It is a nurse call system where fixed cabling links the devices in each room back to a controller. Room call points, bedhead units and ensuite pull cords are all on that circuit. When a call is raised, the controller drives the overdoor light outside the room, the corridor displays and the central annunciation point at the staff base.
How does a call actually reach staff?
A patient presses a call point or pulls the ensuite cord. The overdoor light comes on immediately so the room is identified from the corridor, while text displays and the central annunciator show the room number and call type. Staff attend, register presence at the attendance point, and the call clears — or they raise an assistance call if more help is needed.
Should I choose wired or wireless?
Choose wired where cable can be run: new builds and major refurbishments, and anywhere a permanent facility-wide backbone is wanted. Choose wireless where cabling is impractical — occupied buildings, heritage properties and staged rollouts. Our wireless page sets out the retrofit options in the same plain terms.
Can an existing wired system be extended?
Usually yes. Extra call points, bedhead units, pull cords and overdoor lights can be added to an existing installation, and we supply leads, pendants, mounting plates, power supplies and replacement modules to keep systems already in service running.
Do you supply aged care and clinics as well as hospitals?
Yes. Hospitals, aged care and residential care homes, clinics and assisted living facilities all order from us, along with the contractors and installers who fit the systems. The device mix changes with the setting, so tell us what type of facility it is when you enquire.
Can you help before we go to tender?
That is what the catalogue is written for. Each product area explains what the equipment does and where it suits, so decision-makers and contractors can shortlist with confidence. Send your room schedule or draft specification through the contact page and our team will support the product selection.
