The Hospital Broadcasting Association
The Hospital Broadcasting Association (HBA), more formally known as the National Association of Hospital Broadcasting Organisations (NAHBO) is the national charity that supports and promotes Hospital Broadcasting in the UK.
The HBA is managed by a committee elected from its membership and is staffed entirely by volunteers.
As well as promoting hospital broadcasting and representing its members, the Hospital Broadcasting Association offers its members a variety of services as well as professional advice.
The association currently consists of 227 individual broadcasting stations, representing a large number of volunteers. Patients in many UK hospitals benefit from programmes designed to make life better for people in hospital and aid their recovery.
The Hospital Broadcasting Association has two membership categories and new members are always welcome. Membership is open to individuals or hospital broadcasting associations.
Radio Addenbrookes
What is the aim of hospital radio?
We want to make patients’ stay in hospital as comfortable and pleasant as possible. No one really wants to be in hospital, but if we can provide a welcome distraction and bring a smile to a few faces then we have achieved our aim.
What types of show are broadcast on Radio Addenbrooke’s?
Most shows are music-based, but we also like to involve patients as much as possible through quizzes, interviews, etc. All shows are put together with the patients’ tastes in mind. Many shows are request shows, where the patients choose the music that we play.
This results in a wide range of music – probably more varied than the selection any commercial station plays. The most popular artists/composers include Mozart, ABBA, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Elvis Presley, Daniel O’Donnell and Robbie Williams.
