The radio station is managed by an elected committee and broadcasts to the patients bedside free of charge on channel 1, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through the hospedia bedside units. It's easy to start listening, just pick up the phone dial *1 and ask the operator to activate your bedside unit for the radio, select channel 1 and away you go.

At University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust we are always on the lookout for volunteers to help in the running of the radio station, from visiting the wards to presenting a show on hospital radio. Once you become a volunteer full training will be given to get you on the road to helping the patients have a pleasant stay while in the hospital.
