NHR Coronavirus update

The world is being impacted by the Coronavirus in ways that just a few short weeks ago, none of us would have thought possible. This is affecting all corners of the earth and there can be no-one that is not affected in some way. NHR are no exception. We therefore need to bring you an NHR Coronavirus update.

As the spread of the disease continues, more and more people are having to self isolate, stay at home to look after friends or family or have their work patterns altered. Unfortunately, many of our presenters are experiencing challenges which we can all understand, appreciate and support.

In order to adapt to an ever changing situation, we have had to implement an emergency show schedule.

For the next few weeks, we will only be able to host a request show ‘Your Choice’ on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 17:00 and 19:00.

We have tried to keep the schedule predictable so that should you want to request a song for a friend or relative inside or outside of the hospital, you know when we will be on air and able to play them for you.

During the remaining time, our wonderful systems will try and keep you entertained with music and news 24 hours a day.

Remember, for those in hospital and City or QMC, the radio channels on the Hospedia system are free 24 hours a day.

Don’t forget, you can now place a request online here.

We thank you for your understanding during this difficult time and assure you we will return to normal just as soon as we can.

Best wishes,

NHR

NHR Goes Online

We are pleased to announce that as of today, you can listen to NHR online.

Nottingham Hospitals Radio is a charity dedicated to entertaining patients (and staff) of the Queen’s Medical Centre and City Hospital, and we’ve been doing that for over 45 years.

We’d been planning to go online for a few years now, once we had the funds raised for new equipment.  We were almost at that point when Coronavirus hit.  So instead of waiting for a big launch, we decided to get online as soon as we could to help keep people company and connect patients to their friends and family at this really difficult time.

Until now, the only way that you could listen to us has been via the Hospedia bedside systems.  When we were able to visit the wards one of the most frequently asked questions we got was -can relatives listen to us from home, to hear the dedication for their loved one.  We’ve now got this solved! You can now listen to NHR online via our Website and Mytuner-radio.com (Apps available for Android, IOS, Mac and Windows).

Listen on line via our website

You can also listen on your phone using the MyTuner-Radio.com app.

You can also request your favourite tunes for our ‘Your Choice’ shows online by using our new request form

Many thanks go out to all the hard work by our volunteers (past and present) for making this a reality. Thanks also to the Friends of QMC for their support.

Please also remember that we are a charity and we operate totally by the generosity of the public. If you would like to donate, just send us a message. Any donations, large or small will go a long way.

Welcome to our new website

Here at NHR, we’re looking to the future. We have exciting plans and ambitions. However, first things first. Welcome to our new website.

It’s still a little bit of a work in progress as we develop more functions and exciting contents.

Our aim and ambition is to try and cheer you up and keep you company whilst in hospital. Whilst we try and visits the wards as often as we can, we wanted to open requests up and make it easy for those at home to make requests as well. In order to do this, we have introduced a new request form onto the site.

Perhaps you want to join us. No matter if you want to collect requests on the wards, present a show or help with the tech we are sure you will enjoy it. Our new site allows you to apply on-line, or download a paper version of the form.

We are a registered charity run by volunteers. We do have running costs though so any donations are always most welcome. Find details on how to do this on our new site.

We hope you enjoy the new site. However, communication is a 2-way street, so if you have any feedback for us, why not use the online feedback form. We’d love to hear from you.

Welcome to our new website.
