HRN has got it's own skill on the Amazon smart speaker making it much easier for everyone to install the feature.
All you have to do is activate the skill by either saying 'Alexa enable skill' then when she asks which skill you reply with 'Hospital Radio Norwich'. You can also activate HRN by using your alexa app on your mobile phone. Go to add skill then search for Hospital Radio Norwich, select our app (shows our logo) then click 'enable skill'. Once this is done you only have to say 'Alexa play Hospital Radio Norwich'

The studio is usually unmanned at present during daytime hours but Patients and/or relatives can leave messages for requests on our answerphone on 01603 454585. Ward visiting takes place early evenings with wards visited on a rota basis. Requests collected are then played later that evening on our Request Programme (7.30-9.30pm). Patients not visited can still get a tune played by calling 01603 454585 (Remember the number)
Also your family & friends can tune in at home to share your requests as HRN is now relayed online, they can phone in for requests or fill out the online form on our website.
