The web site up to now has been concerned with the public image of the radio service. We are now in a position to display all the briefings, notices on the noticeboards, newsletters emails and bulletin board implementation, which kept the radio staff volunteers informed of day to day requirements.
Joining hospital radio was not just about spinning records,there was many different aspects to holding the voluntary position, these all had to be briefed to the volunteers.
