Frequently asked questions
What will happen if I had equipment from the previous supplier?
The equipment you had from your previous supplier will continue to work. As part of the national ‘Analogue to Digital’ shift, if you currently have analogue equipment, this will need changing, but you don’t need to do anything, we will contact you to arrange replacement.
Will my information be safe with NRS Healthcare?
Yes, all personal information will be transferred and kept securely. It will not be shared with anybody.
My needs have changed, who do I contact to seek extra support?
Please contact Health and Social Care Connect on 0345 60 80 191 to discuss matters relating to changing levels of need.
Who do I contact if my equipment doesn’t work?
If you have any problems with your lifeline/technology enabled care please contact NRS Healthcare on 0300 100 0260 or tecs@eastsussex.nrs-uk.net
I'm going into a care home and no longer need the equipment. What do I do?
Please contact NRS Healthcare via 0300 100 0260 or tecs@eastsussex.nrs-uk.net to arrange collection of any equipment that is no longer required.
My old equipment has been knocked about a bit over the years. Can I swap it for a newer model?
Unless the equipment is damaged and no longer works, it will not be replaced. If you have any concerns regarding this, please contact NRS Healthcare via 0300 100 0260 or tecs@eastsussex.nrs-uk.net
Can I swap my analogue equipment to a digital device?
We will be replacing all analogue equipment over the next 12 months and will be in touch to arrange replacement. If, however, your telecommunications provider advises that your service is going to be moved to digital before you hear from us, please get in touch and we will arrange an earlier replacement.

Can I use the equipment previously prescribed for someone else?
