One of the most important roles we carry out at Southend Hospital Radio, is our visit to the wards which we do on a regular basis.

 

Visiting and talking to the patients is an
essential part of our role as ward visitors. Some of our patients get few, or even no visitors at all and a visit from one of the Southend Hospital Radio team is met with much pleasure. The banter is always friendly and we can normally talk about anything and everything!

 

Obviously the purpose of visiting the wards is to collect requests which we take back to the studio to play on our flagship Southend Hospital Tonight shows which happens most evenings between 8pm and 10pm.

The sort of music we play is eclectic to say the least, and very much depends upon the
music requested. Typically, you can always rely on a little bit of Frank Sinatra, Glenn Miller and of course ‘The King’ Elvis Presley to while away the evening!

If you’d like to have a song played on Southend Hospital Radio, perhaps for a friend or loved one in hospital, we have a request line for use by you any time of the night or day – You can contact us on 01702-338181,or you can send us a text message on 07733 255 299.
