The Royal Bournemouth Hospital, Poole Hospital and Poole Maternity Unit all use the Patientline system.

Patients must be registered to use the system but please note that the radio channels are all free to use and registration is a simple and quick process. All you need to do is press the green button and then give the patient's name and postcode.

Hospital Radio Bedside can be found on Channel 6 in The Royal Bournemouth Hospital and on Channel 48 in Poole Hospital and Poole Maternity Unit.

In Christchurch Hospital, Hospital Radio Bedside can be found on Channel 1.

Wimborne Hospital provides two slightly different systems. In Cuthbury Ward, you must press the blue pad until No.9 appears. The green pad controls the volume.

In Hanham Ward, the uppermost circular button turns the unit on and off. You should then press the left-hand ovular button until No.9 appears. The right-hand ovular button controls the volume.
