What is SPARK® Media?
It’s a free entertainment and engagement platform. But what does that actually mean?
It’s essentially a website with various links to entertainment and resources. For example, when the sudoku button is pressed, you’ll be redirected to a new tab with online sudoku. Navigate back to the SPARK® Media tab to explore more.
Catch Up and On Demand provides options to ITVX, BBC iPlayer, Netflix, Disney Plus and more. You’ll need your own account to log in to these streaming services, but they are easily accessible from SPARK® Media.
The arrows on the yellow top navigation bar will take you to the different tabs which are typically titled Charity and MyCare. They have their own buttons that go to a selection of links. All the features on this platform have been customised by the Trust. It’s worth exploring as there may be some useful hospital information in there and easy to access entertainment.

Does the page look something like this?
It means you’re not connected to the internet. To access SPARK® Media, the entertainment and engagement platform, you need to connect to the NHS Wi-Fi first. Learn how to do that here. You can't access this platform through your data.
You’ll then be able to access puzzle games, hospital and charity information, health resources, catch up TV and more! Search for www.wifitv.co.uk to view this platform.
