FREE patient WiFi has been launched at Bournemouth Hospital, Christchurch Hospital and Poole Hospital.

The service, provided by Hospedia in conjunction with The Cloud, has been funded by Bournemouth Hospital Charity, and includes full streaming ability in certain areas.

A Hospedia spokesman said: “The Hospedia Wi-Fi service provides a familiar, easy to use interface, which provides a personalised hospital landing page, links to hospital information and opportunities to complete the friends and family test.

“In addition, due to its partnership with The Cloud - Europe’s largest WiFi provide - users of the service can quickly and easily access the thousands of Cloud WiFi hotspots throughout the UK once they leave hospital, including at venues such as Marks & Spencer, the City of London, Wetherspoons, PizzaExpress, Caffe Nero, Eat, pubs, leisure facilities, restaurants and mainline stations.”
