Hospital Radio Lynn

Hospital Radio Lynn is a charitable radio and ward-visiting service associated with the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn, Norfolk. Broadcasting began in 1974, and the organisation continues to bring a familiar voice to patients, staff and visitors. Its work combines programmes on air with personal contact in the hospital, making companionship an important part of the service.

The output mixes music with news, sport and current affairs. Requests and dedications give listeners a direct way to influence the programme and share a meaningful song with another person. The charity also draws attention to personally significant music through Playlist for Life, recognising the place that remembered songs can have in the lives of people affected by dementia.

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital has been the station's home since the hospital opened in 1980. Its musical selection reaches from the 1950s to modern recordings, with a continuous service extending through weekends and Christmas. Ward visitors collect requests as well as offering conversation, and the charity's published work includes providing a platform for the hospital chaplaincy's Sunday service. These activities connect the music with different parts of hospital life, supported by volunteers working both on air and away from the microphone.

Hospital Radio Lynn operates as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and relies on support from volunteers, donations and local involvement. Its audience extends beyond the hospital through online listening, while the Queen Elizabeth Hospital remains central to its purpose. That combination allows family members and former patients to retain a connection with a service built around the hospital community.
