Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr FM Radio (YYFM)

YYFM is a local digital radio station that is completely free, and accessible to patients using tablets - which are available on wards - or by using their own devices (tablets/mobile phones etc.) and connecting to the hospital's free WiFi network. The service is also available externally and can be accessed anywhere in the world.

Rather than being a traditional hospital radio station, YYFM content will be regularly updated and made available on-demand, 24/7, via itsyyfm.com - this site will direct users to both speech-based and music-based content. Patients can also give their feedback on the service, or request specific content, by clicking the feedback button.

Our speech-based content will include news summaries, interviews, documentaries and radio dramas. The content will also be distributed to Apple Podcasts, Spotify Podcasts and Google Podcasts.

Music-based content will include patient requests and music documentaries.
