Hundreds of hospital radio volunteers will be gathering in Watford this weekend for a 3-day conference with the big event being the National Hospital RAdio Awards on Saturday evening at which HRB has been nominated for 7 awards.
The event, organised by the Hospital Broadcasting Association, gives volunteers the chance to take part in training and seminars to improve their knowledge and skills, as well as meet other volunteers to share ideas and just generally catch up with friends.
This year there will be the launch of a major study into the impact of hospital radio and the work of the volunteers.
