Hospedia’s TV services usually are usually charged at £7.90 per day.

Hospital patients with access to Hospedia bedside entertainment systems are to be given three days of free access over the Christmas period.



Hospedia will give patients free access to the programmes they love on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Day.

TV services usually are usually charged at £7.90 per day.

Patients will not be asked to register or sign-up for the service, TV access will automatically be enabled for bedside entertainment systems and will run for 24-hours.

Volaris acquired WiFi SPARK, Hospedia’s parent company, in September last year and plans to change its business model from ‘patient pays’ to ‘free at the point of use’.


Enjoy Christmas without the worry of cost.

Dean Moody, chief commercial officer at WiFi SPARK, said: “We all know that the past two years have been exceptionally difficult for the NHS and for the people who depend on it.

“The Covid-19 pandemic and the ongoing, exceptional demand for services have necessitated new restrictions on who can access wards and visit those patients who need to be admitted for treatment.

“That has made modern, digital entertainment and communications systems more important than ever before, and we wanted to recognise this with an extended, free-TV offer.

“We hope that this will enable patients to enjoy some of the special programmes that we all look forward to at Christmas and New Year, without having to worry about the cost of joining the celebrations.”
