Online alarm clock for 10:10 am
Handing the morning ward round to another staff member at 10:10 am can leave one final check easy to miss. An alarm set for this time marks the changeover without relying on memory while names, notes and follow-ups are being passed across. There are 50 minutes before 11:00 am, leaving a useful window for anything that needs attention after the handover.
During the ward round handover, the alarm page may be sent into the background while notes or messages are opened. Browsers can reduce activity on a background page, particularly when a phone is conserving power, so keeping the alarm page visible gives it a clearer chance to run as expected. If the browser is closed or the phone falls asleep, the ward round alert will not sound; a separate phone alarm is a sensible backup when timing cannot be missed.
Late-morning light can create glare on a phone screen near windows or under bright ward lighting. At 10:10 am, position the screen so reflections do not hide the alarm status, then lower the brightness to a comfortable level once it is readable. A quick glance should be enough to confirm the set time, letting eyes return to printed notes or the person taking over.
Common questions
What happens once the alarm goes off?
It rings through your device's speakers on a loop until you stop it from this page. There's no separate app notification, so make sure your volume is turned up before you rely on it.
Is this alarm accurate across daylight saving time?
It uses your device's local clock, so as long as your computer's time and date settings are correct, it'll adjust automatically when daylight saving time starts or ends.
Can I use this on my phone instead of a laptop?
Yes, it works in a mobile browser the same way, but phones are more likely to lock the screen or sleep, which can stop the alarm from ringing. A laptop or desktop tends to be more reliable for this.
Can I set more than one alarm at a time?
This page is built around a single alarm at a time. For multiple alarms, open a separate tab for each one and set a different time in each, keeping every tab open until it's rung.
