Epsom Hospital Radio

Epsom Hospital Radio broadcast to the patients and staff of Epsom Hospital to keep them amused, entertained and informed during their stay. They started back in 1979 with a small shed on the roof and over the years have grown to be an important part of the services provided for the patients in Epsom Hospital.

In March 2010, Epsom Hospital Radio started broadcasting 24 hours a day providing music, entertainment and information alongside the presenter led programmes. In 2023, as part of our 45^th anniversary celebrations, we started broadcasting on the internet, with the aim of reaching a wider audience and ensuring that family and friends could hear requests for patients as well.

The station has a wide choice of music based shows as well as comedy and drama. Their music collection spans the decades from pre-50's up to the present day and includes blues, classical, country, jazz, pop, rock, soul and disco.

The station's volunteers broadcast a variety of live shows throughout the week, which details about local events, sport and national news and of course, at the heart of all hospital radio stations, the patients and listeners requests. Look out for their presenters during their ward visits.

Epsom Hospital Radio also broadcasts hospital information in every show, which includes details about the services provided at Epsom Hospital by The Trust and also the many charities which support the NHS.
