Cotswold Hospital Radio - The Patient Station

Cotswold Hospital Radio has been broadcasting for over 35 years and is run by a group of dedicated volunteers.  It is normally found on Channel 9 of your bedside radio and broadcasts 24 hours a day. There is a live broadcast each evening at eight o’clock and the radio volunteers can often be seen collecting patient music requests from the wards at Gloucester and Cheltenham hospitals.

Many broadcasts are pre-recorded with quiet music at night and a livelier selection though the day. Visit the Cotswold Hospital Radio website for more information or read the Cotswold Hospital Radio Smile Magazine.
