Wi-fi Success
In 2012 the radio staff along with finance from the league of friends installed a Wi-fi service into ward 4 at Heatherwood.
At the beginning of 2013 the service was brought into service and data was collected on it's usage.
The end of year results prove the service is well used and has become a boon to the patients and staff of ward 4.
Our thanks go out to the league of friends for believing in the project and also those members of staff on ward 4 who have helped us promote the service.

Volunteer Recruitment
In late 2009 the league of friends radio service was advised that the building which it occupied would be part of the site which was no longer required in addition as the hospital made cuts to services, the radio service decided to suspend all recruitment of volunteers until a firm decision as to what service or facilities would be available.
The league has reviewed it's position on new volunteers and cannot see any change from it's earlier decision.
Volunteer recruitment is still suspended until further notice.
