It has been 12 years since Pinpoint first installed its award-winning staff attack system in Hunter Street Health Centre in Glasgow.

For over a decade, Pinpoint’s alarm system has been present on the site, supporting health and social care staff working with patients experiencing addiction and substance abuse. 

Initially installed in 2003 to cover treatment rooms, waiting areas and WCs, the System coverage was extended in 2019 to include the centre’s new enhanced drug treatment service and once again in 2024 to cover the UK’s first safe drug consumption facility.

The presence of the System ensures all staff have quick and easy access to assistance should they need it. With the simple press of a button on a person-worn alarm, employees alert others to their need for help and their exact location. Doing so allows colleagues to quickly respond, providing the necessary support.

With 14% of NHS staff reporting to have been physically assaulted by patients, the availability of the Pinpoint System gives healthcare workers peace of mind in high-risk environments. Employees at Hunter Street Health Centre can be confident that help can easily be summoned, preventing challenging situations from escalating or violent situations from occurring.

The longevity of the System in Hunter Street Health Centre speaks to the quality and durability of Pinpoint’s devices, designed to meet the highest standards of performance and withstand the daily wear and tear of a busy healthcare professional’s routine. 

Hunter Street Health Centre is leading the charge in addiction support and safe drug consumption in the UK. It is an honour to have worked with the team for the last 12 years, here’s to many more!
