Healthcare

Today we live in an environment where freedom of movement in public places and changes in social behaviour is having an adverse effect on the healthcare sector.

Attacks on nursing staff continue to increase. A quarter of the 2,800 nurses surveyed by the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) said they had been physically assaulted, whilst the situation was even worse within accident and emergency (A&E) departments with almost 80% of nurses reporting they had been assaulted in the past year.  The Department of Health confirmed there has been a 15-fold increase in prosecutions for attacks on NHS staff.

Staff often have to work in high-risk or potentially threatening situations. Minimising risks not only enhances staff safety but also results in increased operating efficiency.

At PAC we believe in being more than just a provider of hardware. We work with Hospitals and Trusts to create access control solutions that fit exactly the needs of their staff and departments.

PAC has the software, hardware and technical planning resources to implement a full integrated access control solution.

PAC’s systems can integrate with CCTV ,nurse call ,parking management, fire detection and staff protection systems to provide a complete security system. These can be networked via the internet to give users in different locations the ability to manage and view the current system status and act in any alarm situations.

Hospital managers rely on PAC systems for their security and peace of mind.
