Patients at Three Key Hospitals in Dorset UK Get FREE WiFi

Patients, visitors and staff at three of Dorset’s (England) most important hospitals in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole should now be able to access a free WiFi wireless Internet service thanks to a joint effort by The Cloud (Sky), the Bournemouth Hospital Charity and Hospedia.

Over the past few years we’ve seen a growing number of hospitals provide free WiFi to patients and indeed Hospedia already help to serve 21 such networks. The service helps to keep friends and family in touch with those outside and apparently results in the related hospitals receiving a greater degree of positive feedback.

Hospedia Statement

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 provider), 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.

The vast majority of The Cloud WiFi venues are free, but some do require you to obtain a free code, or purchase a voucher to get online. Subscribers of Sky Broadband should benefit from free access to all of the related hotspots (just use your Sky iD to sign-in).
