Patient entertainment systems in the new wing

Bedside entertainment systems, funded by Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity, are helping make hospital stays more comfortable by giving patients access to their own screen and WiFi.
Patient entertainment systems in the new wing

On surveying parents and patients, 73% wanted a bedhead TV with the option to use a mobile device with WiFi.

The cost of each system is around £3,000 and the charity provided funding for 72 units in the new wing of the hospital.

The project will now be extended to fund systems in the remaining wards, meaning each child can choose their own entertainment during their stay in our hospital.
