Paging system for restaurants, hospital, bar, and a varienty of other industries. HOSPITAL Paging system reduces response time and improves communications between Patient and NURSES. Satisfied patients: no disturbance on the ward Peace and quiet: signalling only to where a nurse is present Call signal: a simple "beep" Unworried matrons: ward matrons can spend a peaceful night, a flashing light signals a patient call. When a patient the ward or room and bed number is identified and displayed on a central screen, in the ward and on the room display (in addition to the conventional flashing light). If more than one call is received the system applies a priority on the basis of serious illnesses.
