Barnie Choudury – Barnie volunteered with us during the early 80s. From then he became a trainee at BBC and went on to become Social affairs Corrispondant.
2003 saw the introduction of a 24 hour broadcasting system and the use of new software packages, this enabled us to broadcast direct from a computer to the patients. This system also made it quicker to find patients requests since most of our CD music is now held on the database.
In July 2006 a brand new hospital was opened and we moved out of a broom cupboard in the basement in to a state of the art radio stuio which broadcasted to around 1200 bedside units.
