We are the Entertainment Service for Hillingdon Hospital, which in case you were wondering is close to Heathrow Airport, London, England. It's a Radio Station in a Hospital. We broadcast 24 hours a day on the Hospedia Bedside Entertainment System and online at www.radiohillingdon.com 2010 is our Ruby Anniversary year of broadcasting to the hospital.
No, it’s nothing to do with chocolate bars, or running 26 miles!
From Friday 17th to Tuesday 21st September, a team of dedicated presenters will broadcast non-stop for 25 hours each in a 100 hour Broadcast Marathon, all in the name of charity. As well as raising funds for Hospital Radio Hillingdon, some of the proceeds from this event will be donated to the Hillingdon Hospital Cherubs Appeal supporting the neonatal unit of the hospital's maternity wards.

40 years
of Hospital Radio Hillingdon
THIS year is a big year for the small radio station that
serves the patients at Hillingdon Hospital as it finally
reaches the grand old age of 40 years. To mark this great
occasion, the volunteers are planning many special events
and Hospital Radio Hillingdon is broadcasting a series of
special programmes.
This picture (left) is of David Brown in our then “new”
studio in 1976. Dave is one of our founder members and has
recently returned to present a special hour long programme
explaining how the station started and mapping out the key
events along the way from 1970 to 2010. Listen out for the
40th Anniversary specials at midday Monday to Friday, 9pm
on Saturdays and 5pm on Sundays.
There is more information about the 70’s era and how the station started here. Find out more about us by checking out the latest edition of the Radio Hillingdon Magazine. You can get a copy from the Radio Hillingdon Ward Visitors or by contacting us. If you would like to advertise in our next magazine, please contact Heartbeat Publications.
We rely 100% on our own fundraising to keep us going. One of the ways you can help is to use our Web Shop for your online purchases. All your favourite online retailers are there and you pay exactly the same price as on the retailers main sites, often lower than on the high street. We earn commission on everything you buy!
