Choice Hospital Radio

Choice is the hospital radio service for the Worcestershire Royal Hospital.

Choice is a voluntary service broadcasting to patients from a purpose-built studio centre opened in 2002. Choice broadcasts directly to the patient bedside via the Hospedia system, as well as being available to listen to live via the internet – so friends and family can tune in too.

Choice plays a wide variety of music, with the emphasis on requests from patients. You can also hear interviews with celebrities, both local and national; quizzes, local and national sports news and lots of other features.

Record requests are made to the Choice volunteers who regularly visit the wards. In addition, family and friends can ask for a record to be played, with a personal message if they like, by contacting the station. For more information visit https://choiceradio.org.uk/
