Ward Visitors

Ward Visitors go round a particular ward, or wards, on a regular basis, visiting patients at the bedside. You'll help them find our hospital radio channel, ask what sort of music they'd like to hear and take any requests for that evening's Request Show.

A friendly face

Many patients don't get visitors every day and hospital can be a lonely, boring place. A chat at the bedside genuinely makes someone's day.

Passing it to the studio

Feed the requests and dedications back to the studio team in time for the evening Request Show.

• Are good at chatting to people and putting them at ease
• Can spare an hour or so on a regular, weekly basis
• Can get to one of our hospitals easily – Barnet, Chase Farm, North Mid or the Royal Free

You don't need to know anything about the latest charts, or much about music at all. Just help patients remember their favourite songs – we'll handle the rest.

“I love my time spent helping Royal Free Radio – I get to chat to all sorts of interesting people and help them pass the time in hospital – and make sure they can get their favourite music played on the radio.”
