WardLine: Hospital Directory

WardLine is how clinicians reach each other. Find the ward, the department, or the person on call at a hospital anywhere in South Africa — and get them on the phone in two taps. THE DIRECTORY • Extensions, bleeps and switchboard numbers for hospitals across South Africa, in one searchable list. • Your own hospital opens first, so the numbers you use every day are one tap away. Every other facility is a search away. • Numbers dial correctly from outside the hospital — WardLine adds the right prefix, so an extension works from your mobile. • Search by ward, department or specialty, in any word order: "icu adult" finds Adult ICU. • Star the numbers you call often. KEPT RIGHT BY THE PEOPLE WHO USE IT A directory is only worth having if it is current, so everyone using WardLine can maintain it: • Add a number that is missing. • Correct one that has changed. • Confirm one you have just rung, so the next person knows it still works. • Flag one that is wrong — without needing to know the right answer. ON CALL • See who is on call, by day and by specialty. • Call or WhatsApp the person on call straight from the roster. • Hospitals that publish a daily roster have theirs brought in automatically. Everywhere else, add and edit the rows yourself. • Corrections you make to a published roster stay put — the next import leaves your fix alone. CLINICAL REFERENCE The clinical content is all still here: • Emergency protocols and quick reference. • A step-by-step CPR guide, based on the Resuscitation Council of Southern Africa algorithm. • Essential Medicines List browser. • Paediatric and neonatal guidelines, including a phototherapy threshold calculator. • eGK gatekeeping codes. • Blood products, EDD and gestational age, and other ward references. • Rotation schedules and intern resources. WHO IT IS FOR WardLine is built for doctors, nurses and allied healthcare staff working in South African hospitals. It needs a WardWiZ account, which takes a minute to create inside the app. DISCLAIMER WardLine is a reference and workflow tool for qualified healthcare professionals. Contact details are maintained by the clinicians who use the app, and can be out of date or wrong. Confirm a number before relying on it, and never let a directory lookup delay an emergency call. Calculators and protocol summaries are aids only. They do not replace clinical judgement, local hospital policy, or the advice of a senior clinician. Always check critical decisions, drug doses and thresholds against the current official source documents before acting.
