All our collectors and presenters are volunteers. Both collectors and presenters work on a fortnightly rota although during holiday periods the rota may be adjusted. Collectors tour the wards visiting patients and collecting their requests often making a suggestion for a request to patients. These request sheets are prepared for the presenter and requested CDs and records not on our computerised library are extracted from the CD/Vinyl library. The collectors provide a pastoral role to the patients and may be their only visitor apart from the hospital staff.
Presenters prepare an evening request show using the requests obtained by the collectors and including some of their own choices to provide an enjoyable 2 hour show.
Full Training is given to both collectors and presenters. All Hospital Radio staff must attend a Hospital Health and Safety course and also be CRB checked. If you are interested please contact the secretary for more information.
