Intercall Nurse Call Systen

Nurse Call Systems

Reliable Communication for Care Environments

DACT designs, installs and maintains nurse call systems for care homes, hospitals, assisted living and specialist care facilities across the UK. A nurse call system is the direct line between the person needing help and the staff responsible for them, so reliability and clear escalation matter more than features.

We install wired, wireless and hybrid systems, including Intercall and other established platforms, scaled from a single unit to multi-wing facilities. Systems can integrate with pagers, mobile devices, fall detection and fire alarm systems, and provide the call logging and reporting that supports CQC inspection evidence.

Call Points and System Types

The right system depends on the care setting, the mobility of residents, and how staff need to receive calls.

  • Bedhead and room units. Fixed call points at bedsides and in rooms, with reassurance indicators and reset at the point of call.
  • Pull cords and pendants. Ceiling pull cords in bathrooms and en-suites, and wearable pendants for residents who move around the facility.
  • Wired, wireless and hybrid. Wired for new build and refurbishment, wireless where disruption must be minimal, hybrid where a site is being extended in stages.
  • Staff notification. Corridor displays, overdoor lights, pagers and mobile handsets, so calls reach the right person rather than sounding across the whole building.
  • Call logging and reporting. Records of call type, location and response time, useful for staffing decisions and for evidencing responsiveness at inspection.

Nurse call often sits alongside accessible toilet alarms and refuge communication in the same building. We install those too — see our Emergency Communication Systems page.

Key Benefits

Implementing a robust nurse call system brings essential benefits to any care setting:

  • Faster response. Residents can summon help instantly, reducing response times and the risk of an incident escalating.
  • Efficient staffing. Calls route to the right staff member via pager or mobile, cutting unnecessary legwork and disruptive overhead alarms.
  • Inspection evidence. Call logging and reporting provide data on response times, supporting CQC compliance and staffing reviews.
  • Scales with the facility. Wireless and hybrid options let systems expand as the building or resident needs change.

Our Installation Process

We provide expert installation of nurse call systems, ensuring reliability and compliance tailored to your facility's requirements:

  • Consultation and site assessment. We review your care environment, resident needs, existing infrastructure and building layout before specifying anything.
  • System design. We recommend the right technology (wired, wireless or hybrid) and the call point types, displays and mobile integration to suit how your staff work.
  • Installation and configuration. Engineers install call points, reset units, overdoor lights and panels, then configure call routing, alert types and escalation to your operational protocols.
  • Commissioning, training and support. Every call point is tested before handover, staff are trained on day-to-day use, and ongoing maintenance packages are available.
