Hospital radio has been bringing comfort, connection and companionship to patients for 100 years

At NUH, Nottingham Hospital Radio (NHR) continues that legacy thanks to a dedicated team of volunteers including Steve Coulby, who has been part of the station for seven years.

Steve recently gave ITV a behind-the-scenes look at the station, highlighting the real impact hospital radio has on patients:

“You’d be surprised by how much a simple conversation can make someone’s day.”

From taking song requests to being a friendly, familiar voice, NHR volunteers help make time in hospital a little easier for patients and staff alike.

As hospital radio marks its one hundred years, we’re celebrating the people behind the mic who make a difference every single day.

People of NUH: Meet Sophie Bodenham 💙

Meet Sophie, who works in Medicines Management across Critical Care and Theatres at NUH.

Sophie completed her NVQ Level 2 in Community Pharmacy and is currently coming to the end of her Pharmacy Technician course, an exciting step in her career supporting patients and clinical teams.

The best part of Sophie's job is knowing that her work contributes directly to patient care and recovery. She says it’s incredibly rewarding to see the difference that the right support, attention to detail and a positive attitude can make to a patient’s wellbeing.

Something many people might not realise about Sophie's role is just how much time Medicines Management Assistants spend on the wards. Being visible, part of the daily ward routine, and regularly working alongside nurses gives the team a really valuable insight into the whole patient care journey.

Sophie's life advice:

“Whatever life throws at you, you can do it if you keep going. Sometimes you have to step outside your comfort zone to get to where you want to be.”

Bowel cancer screening can help detect cancer early — often before symptoms appear.

In England, everyone aged 50 to 74 is invited to take part in the NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Programme, using a simple test that you can complete at home. The test checks for small amounts of blood in your poo that could be a sign of bowel cancer or other conditions.

Taking part in screening could help find problems early, when treatment is more likely to be successful. If you receive a screening kit in the post, please don’t ignore it — completing the test could save your life. 💙
