Empowering patients

Our anti-ligature electronic access control is the only system designed specifically for Mental Health, with patients and staff in mind. When designing Ribblemere MBU, it was important that the mothers there would be able to lock and unlock their bedroom spaces in order to feel a sense of independence and build confidence.

Patients are given an anti-ligature wristband which locks and unlocks their bedroom door when held up to the reader
It's made of a lightweight rubber material making it comfortable to wear and unobtrusive
Patients' wristbands are programmed to only grant access to their bedrooms and relevant communal areas
Reduces restrictive practices in line with Care Quality Commission (CQC) guidance

Helping clinical staff

For the health and wellbeing of mothers in Ribblemere MBU to improve, Lancashire Care knew that clinical staff had to have the right products to deliver the best care. Our electronic access control allows staff to manage patient and staff access permissions throughout the ward and all locksets have built-in mechanical staff override.

Ward access is managed through our smart platform, enabling remote programming, real-time updates and reporting
5-way SOS (Staff Override System) built-in, ensuring reliable emergency access for staff - even in a determined barricade scenario
Wireless system can be retrofitted with minimal on-ward disruption
Used with our wall readers, staff need only one access card to open all relevant doors
