HRC is just one of the UK's 300 hospital radio stations. We are a member of the Hospital Broadcasting Association. There are approximately 11,000 volunteers involved every week in providing entertainment to those in hospital, making it one of the largest voluntary organisations in the UK.

We at HRC are always looking for volunteers to help in all manner of tasks to keep our services running, whether that be ward visiting, engineering, marketing, fund raising to presenting and producing our programmes and roadshows.

It is a common fact that if you are looking for a career in the media, most prospective employers look for hospital or community radio as the main source of experience. At HRC we understand this, and try to give all our members as much exposure to the skills required.

In fact, many of our members have gone onto successful radio & TV careers following their time at HRC. These include: Mike Smith (BBC), Chris Rogers (Newsround & Sky News), Steve Scruton (BBC Essex), Jonathan Overend (BBC Sport) plus many others working very hard in the background.

As a voluntary service we appreciate any time you can give, and whilst we all work very hard we also have a great deal fun too! HRC regrets that it is unable to accept new members under the age of 17, although we would dearly love to

If you would like to find out more about the work we do within the hospital environment, please contact us.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

We should stress that, although a voluntary service, every member does have to pay a yearly membership fee. Currently this stands at £40 with discounted rates for students and OAPs.
