Musicians needed at Doncaster hospitals
and live on Freeview channel 276
Three, electronic, baby grand pianos will soon take centre stage at Bassetlaw Hospital, Doncaster Royal Infirmary and Montagu Hospital.
With skilled musicians playing at intervals, it is hoped that this incidental music will provide a calming and cultured atmosphere to the hospitals, reducing anxiety for arriving patients and visitors as well as improving patient experience.
