title: Numerous ways to answer the call.
abstract: Like other communications technology, nurse call systems have evolved considerably over the past 10-15 years, and now offer far more than just their primary function. HEJ editor Jonathan Baillie discussed, with several leading UK-based suppliers, some of the available technologies, considered their pros and cons, and asked senior personnel how they see nurse call systems developing in the short to medium term as demand for an ever wider range of features, and convergence with other equipment, continue to grow.
