Hospice improves safety for nurses

St. Luke’s Hospice, a Sheffield based
charity caring for adults with
incurable diseases, has adopted
Connexion2’s Identicom lone
worker security device to protect its
community nurses when working
alone.

The hospice has chosen the fully
managed SoloProtect solution, which
incorporates Connexion2’s
Identicom, supported with a range of
services as part of a fixed, inclusive
price including SIM Card and
Airtime, 24/7 link to Alarm
Receiving Centre monitoring,
training and a dedicated customer
support team.

When community nurses are
working alone they can activate the
‘Amber Alert’ function as part of
their dynamic risk assessment. This
allows them to leave a quick 20-
second voice message outlining
whom they are with, where they are
and what risks they are facing. This
is only accessed by the Alarm
Receiving Centre (ARC) should
there be a ‘Red Alert’ subsequently
actioned on the device.
