Northumberland Hospital Radio

Northumberland Hospital Radio serves Northumberland and North Tyneside through its relationship with Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. The charitable broadcaster provides a continuous service across the trust's hospitals, giving it a county-wide healthcare audience rather than a remit confined to a single building. Patients, staff and people listening elsewhere can all follow its output.

Middle-of-the-road music accompanies a strong interest in health and wellbeing. The station's What's On service carries information about local not-for-profit events, with particular attention to health-related activities and services. This gives community organisations a place alongside the music while keeping the information relevant to the people using local healthcare facilities.

The hospitals named in its service area include Alnwick, Berwick, Blyth, Haltwhistle, Hexham, North Tyneside and Wansbeck, alongside the Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital. Presenter-introduced programmes alternate with continuous music. Although the charity is independent, its unpaid team forms part of the trust's voluntary services, linking a wide coastal and rural catchment through one hospital broadcasting organisation.

The charity relies on donations and welcomes suitable sponsorship to support its programmes. Patients can use the hospital's free bedside entertainment service, while personal devices and listening at home provide other routes into the same broadcast. That combination reflects the geographical spread of the organisation and its continuing link with listeners beyond an individual hospital admission.
