Welcome to Radio Frimley Park
Welcome to Radio Frimley Park, the dedicated radio station for the patients of Frimley Park Hospital. We broadcast round the clock – 24
hours a day, seven days a week, to inform, educate and make the patients' stay in the hospital more enjoyable with regular quizzes, playing
requests and of course some great music.
The charity has been operating since 1976 and continues to go from strength to strength.
Radio Frimley Park continues to help Radio Rheumatology
On Friday 22nd of November, Radio Frimley Park facilitated the second podcast recording for Radio Rheumatology. Once more presenting were Rosealeen Killick and Jeannette Cameron, both Rheumatology Nurse Specialists and this time they were joined by Dr. Julekha Wajed to talk about Early Inflammatory Arthritis care (EIA).
The department are involved in data collection for the British Society of Rheumatology\'s National EIA audit. Many more podcasts are being planned; such a simple easy way to get information and facts to patients and relatives, when time constraints prevent such detailed analysis being given on the day.
This week saw the third recording of yet another Radio Rheumatology podcast featuring the two wonderful nurses Rosealeen Killick and Jeannette Cameron who, in this latest episode, explain all about "Methotrexate". As they said themselves, "This podcast provides an overview of methotrexate and we hope it provides a useful resource to patients and rheumatology students alike."
We, at Radio Frimley Park, are proud to be able to continue servicing this ground breaking initiative.

Radio Frimley Park is spreading its wings!
With the full and enthusiastic support of the Voluntary Services team at Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, presenters were able to return to the studio to present their programmes, with suitable Covid-secure measures in place to protect patients and volunteers alike. Now we are in Tier 4, we have had to withdraw from Trust premises again, but we are still very much on air 24 hours a day, as ever, with special Christmas programming, and after Christmas, some shows will again be broadcast from presenters’ homes.
On top of that, Radio Frimley Park is very excited to announce that Frimley Health has now invited the station to extend its programming to the Trust’s other two hospitals; that is Wexham Park in Slough and Heatherwood Hospital in Ascot.
These two locations do not have the bedside equipment to link up with Radio Frimley Park, but patients can still listen in, online or via the Tune-In app.
