Fundraising Appeal

The Pulse Hospital Radio (formerly Watford Hospital Radio) has been broadcasting to the patients of Watford Hospital for the last 60 years. Year by year we have strived to improve our service and are now broadcasting 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to patients, staff and visitors in Watford General, St Albans and Hemel Hempstead hospitals.

We have started a campaign to put speakers back into Hemel Hospital to enable the patients there to have the same service we already provide to Watford. We are also looking at installing additional speakers within Watford Hospital to reach more outpatient departments. In order to continue, we have vowed to raise £10,000.

We provide a service to patients who really need a friendly face at a time when they can be at their most vulnerable and loneliest. The service we provide enables friends and family to make dedications to their loved ones even when they might not be able to physically visit themselves. We have several request shows each week where we visit patients on the wards to collect their song requests and provide a smiley face. Patients within A&E reception are also able to make requests.

The money will go straight into the radio service, allowing more time for patient interactions, entertaining visitors and keeping our NHS boosted with great morale.
