This special and exclusive hospital radio broadcast can be heard on Royal Free Radio on Sunday 16 May at 10pm with a repeat broadcast on Saturday 22 May at 8pm. Royal Free Radio can be heard on Hospedia radio channel 1 at the Royal Free, on TV channel 800 (the default channel) at Chase Farm & on TV channel 0 at North Middlesex University Hospital, on-line at royalfreeradio.co.uk (click on “Listen live”) and on various listening devices.

The programme is also being offered to other hospital radio stations.
