    3 am, somewhere in the country.

    1. Handover. Thirty patients, one switchboard, and it's already engaged.

    2. Bed 12 needs a portable X-ray. Radiology's extension is on a list taped to a wall two floors down.

    3. You search "radiology", tap twice, and it rings. The radiographer is on the way.

    4. Sun on the car park. Someone fixed the number for ICU in the night. Everyone has it now.

    No bars in the basement. The numbers still work.

    Every number is kept on your phone. Search in theatre, in the lift, or at a rural clinic with no signal at all.

    The app searching every hospital for 292. Nineteen wards and clinics match, each with its extension.

    Wrong number? Fix it for everyone.

    The people who use a number are the first to know it changed. One fix, and every phone gets it. Each change is kept, so a mistake can be put back.

    The app shows when a number changed. It never shows who changed it.
