A RADIO station that provides a friendly voice for people in hospital has gone global.


Forest Radio, which is run by volunteers and is broadcast to patients at St Margaret’s Hospital in Epping, can now be heard online, after people leaving hospital said they wanted to carry on listening.


Chairman Paul Meader said: "We have listened to our listeners and realised that it would be brilliant if they could take the station home with them and also enable relatives of patients in hospital to easily make requests for their loved ones."
