“… it’s discreet, lightweight, and most importantly, always to hand in a crisis.”

Locala Community Partnership

Locala is a leading Community Interest Company and selected Protect form Totalmobile to support staff who work alone or out of contact with line managers. The group’s 1,300 staff provide community-based health services in health centres, GP surgeries, schools and service users’ own homes.

Locala provides a wide range of healthcare services, from health visiting to speech and language therapy, and from substance misuse teams and sexual health to community nursing and podiatry. Service users often have complex needs, are vulnerable, or are in challenging environments.

Some of Locala’s staff only work alone occasionally and may be called out unexpectedly so they can’t always plan to have a fully charged specialist device with them. For these staff the challenge was choosing a solution that would always be to hand, fully charged and never forgotten. Enter the Protect App for smartphones.

Protect’s advanced smartphone app includes all our features: Red Alert, Yellow Alert, Safe Check, Worker Down, Group Alert and Safe Beacon. Designed to work seamlessly across all handsets, the app is available for Android, Apple and Windows smartphones (as well as BlackBerry handsets, standard mobiles and PCs). Read the full case study to see how Protect from Totalmobile has helped Locala.
