What of the future? Top of the list is the progression to AM (Medium Wave) broadcasting on domestic radios, in addition to the current bedside headset and TV sound channel distribution systems. Subject to fundraising, the station aims to have this in place during 2004/2005

The whole hospital radio and TV distribution system has been replaced in 2004 by order of the Government. This now offers listeners a better and wider choice of services. Currently, the station is broadcasting on channel 3 on the dayroom speakers and also on most TVs (channel 6). The station now also broadcasts on Patientline channel 6 on each bedside unit.

Attracting and retaining reliable volunteers to present programmes is always a problem throughout hospital radio. So another exciting project is some programme sharing with our friends at Grimsby's hospital radio service GHR. New digital landlines between the sites open up the possibility of producing a few live programmes applicable to both stations. Discussions and tests about how this would work are taking place. it would be likely that some programmes at certain times would be presented here at Radio Medica and networked live to GHR, with a reciprocal arrangement from GHR providing some live networking to Radio Medica.
