Provision of Maintenance and Servicing of Panic Alarm Systems

The Pinpoint system is a multifaceted security system which uses personnel transmitters, allowing staff protection to discreetly activate calls for Assistance and Emergency when needed. The system integrates with other systems to allow response staff to identify the type and source of the call. This system is used within 22 locations within the Trust, mostly in community based units, on a closed protocol system that has been in place for a number of years. To change this system would cause a significant amount of disruption to staff and patients of Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. Therefore, the best course of action to ensure compliance and ensure continued maintenance of these systems would be to publish this notice.
