Safer staff, findable equipment, calmer evacuations.
Staff duress cover, real-time equipment tracking and ward-level mustering for hospitals, trusts and care settings.
Hospitals lose thousands of clinical hours a year searching for shared equipment, expose lone clinical staff to violence and aggression, and face the near-impossible task of accounting for patients, staff and visitors when a ward has to be cleared. The Salvus Network puts a Tag on the people and the kit that matter and reads them at Anchors across wards, departments and exits — so a nurse under threat raises an alert with their exact location, a missing infusion pump is found in seconds, and a fire evacuation of a ward becomes a live, verified head count rather than a frantic bed-by-bed check. It works with the estate you already have, no turnstiles, so clinical flow is never interrupted.
Regulatory landscape
What the rules require.
Care Quality Commission (CQC) registration turns on safe, well-led services. The safe and well-led key questions expect providers to protect staff and patients from avoidable harm, to manage the estate and equipment properly, and to have credible emergency and evacuation arrangements — all of which need evidence, not assertion. Alongside CQC, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places a duty to plan for and manage evacuation, which is acutely difficult in a hospital where many occupants cannot self-evacuate and progressive horizontal evacuation is the norm. Lone and community-facing staff are covered by the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, which require the risks of lone working and violence to be assessed and controlled. The Salvus Network provides the audit trail underneath all of this: who was where during an incident, that a duress alert was raised and answered, and that critical equipment is managed and located — the kind of documented assurance CQC inspections and serious-incident reviews look for.
Where it’s used
Named use cases on healthcare & hospitals sites.
Clinical staff duress
A nurse or community worker facing violence or a medical emergency raises an alert that reaches the response team with their exact last-read location — vital in mental-health, A&E and lone community settings.
Medical equipment tracking
Infusion pumps, syringe drivers, wheelchairs, beds and vital-signs monitors carry Tags, so clinical staff stop hunting for shared kit and biomedical teams see utilisation and location at a glance.
Ward and department evacuation
When a ward must be cleared, get a live count of staff, and of tagged equipment, at each refuge or muster point — supporting progressive horizontal evacuation without a manual bed check.
Contractor and access control
Keep un-inducted contractors out of clinical and plant areas, and hold an auditable record of who entered restricted spaces such as pharmacy, mortuary or estates plant rooms.
How Salvus fits
The jobs that matter for healthcare & hospitals.
Evacuation & Mustering
Roll-call-free mustering that turns a chaotic evacuation into a live, auditable head count in seconds.
Asset Tracking
Asset tracking that flags unauthorised removals at the gate and surfaces idle or missing kit before it costs you.
Lone Worker Safety
Welfare monitoring that raises an alert when a worker stops moving or misses a check-in — before a bad day becomes a fatality.
