Multitone and the NHS: a shared journey based on values, knowledge and experience

From the world’s first bleep paging system developed in partnership with St Thomas’ Hospital, through to cloud-based messaging solutions, Multitone has been a key partner to the NHS throughout its 75-year history worker employees. Multitone’s award-winning EkoTek Staff Safety Solution is a good example, allowing employees to discreetly summon immediate assistance to their location at the touch of a button, should they feel unwell or unsafe.

The UK’s healthcare needs and its society are changing. This requires the NHS to evolve further, to meet these new challenges and use its resources in more efficient and innovative ways. As the acceleration in the digital transformation gathers pace, Multitone is a partner within the NHS SBS Patient/Citizen Communications and Engagement Solutions Framework and is creating new leading-edge solutions and adapting existing ones to meet the demands of the adapting market, including:

Secure digital communications for the mid-2020s and beyond . Hospitals are upgrading their critical communications and building local resilience within their network systems. Multitone is working with many healthcare providers to replace legacy systems with the latest state-of-the-art digital technology such as the Multitone critical messaging platform and critical smart apps.

Protecting employees . Increasingly, employees in the NHS are working throughout the community as well as in various locations on healthcare sites. Multitone is using its technological expertise and experience to adapt solutions to support the needs of lone

Better patient care . Multitone’s innovative EkoCare nurse call solution for care homes, nursing homes and hospitals ensures that whether residents or patients are in bed or mobile, they can get help as quickly as possible at the push of a button.
