Pilgrim Hospital’s £95k Nurse Call System Upgrade

EP Consulting successfully completed a £95k upgrade of the nurse call system at Pilgrim Hospital in Boston, significantly improving communication and safety for patients and staff. This project, executed for Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, involved the replacement of the outdated system with a modern setup in Wards 12A and 12B.

Scope of Work

Our team conducted comprehensive feasibility studies, budget costing, and detailed electrical design to ensure a seamless transition to the new nurse call system. Partnering with Focus Consultants, we installed 13A power supplies for control panels and fitted blank plates to existing recessed equipment back boxes. The project adhered to all relevant regulations and standards, ensuring a high-quality installation.

Challenges and Solutions

The 10-week project required meticulous planning to minimise disruption to patient care. Our engineers worked closely with hospital staff to manage the phased removal and installation of the system. Innovative design solutions were employed to address spatial and technical challenges, ensuring seamless integration with the hospital’s existing infrastructure.

Results and Impact

The upgraded nurse call system at Pilgrim Hospital has enhanced patient safety and staff efficiency, contributing to improved healthcare outcomes. EP Consulting’s commitment to quality engineering and modern technology has provided Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust with a reliable communication system, reinforcing our dedication to excellent care in Boston.
