Welcome to
New Forest
Hospital Radio

We bring the joy of music and entertainment to patients, residents and staff at the New Forest Hospital in Lymington, local residential homes, doctors’ surgeries, on the internet and your smart speaker.
NFHR Presenter Phil Hill

Our station offers

A wide variety of music
With genres to suit every taste, from classic hits to modern pop and everything in between.
Music Mates

Would you like to help cheer up patients in the Wards and Clinics?
Come and join us as a Music Mate!

Music Mates go round the wards and clinics, chatting with patients who often feel lonely or bored whilst in hospital. Some don’t get many visitors and really welcome seeing a friendly face at their bedside.
You’d tell patients about NFHR & talk to them about their favourite music, their families’ and friends’ music tastes, and encourage them to make requests, to be played out during our daily shows, which are broadcast live from our hospital Studio.
It needn’t be a big commitment: we have an on-line calendar, so you’d simply fill in the time slots that suit you – as few or as many as you want. You can even go round the wards with a friend – makes it more fun and you can chat to more patients!
And we’ll give you full training to get you going!
