Patients in rehab may fall or tire and need help quickly. Here is how a call system supports a physiotherapy unit.
Key takeaways
- Call from the bay
- Staff alert
- Safer sessions
- Coverage for bathrooms
01The problem
In physiotherapy a patient works at the edge of their ability. Staff move between bays. If a patient tires or loses balance, a quick way to call help matters. Call points at bays and in changing rooms, and an alert that names the bay, let the team respond quickly.

05What we supply
We design, supply and install nurse call systems for wards, clinics and care homes, on IP and SIP networks. Fanvil's IP nurse call range is one option we quote, alongside others, and we recommend whichever fits your ward. Send us the room count and we reply with a written quote.
06How to put it to the hospital
Start with the problem in a physiotherapy unit that the people you are speaking to already know, then show the lamp over the door and the message at the station. Quote the buttons, call points, lamps and station for a physiotherapy unit, and say clearly that the system supports staff and does not replace rounds.
