Collecting Those Requests

 

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 request collectors. 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!

 

Want to know when we visit each ward? See our Ward Rota.

 

 

 

Obviously the purpose of visiting the wards is to collect requests which we take back to the studio to play on our ever-popular request shows which happen every night 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 call us on 01702-338181.

 

We are always pleased to hear from you.
