about hba scotland

The Hospital Broadcasting Association (HBA) is split into 12 geographical regions to allow member stations to meet at a local level, to discuss and share ideas with neighbouring stations and to serve as a forum for discussing developments relevant to particular areas.

Each region has it's own distinct identity and the Scotland Region is the biggest geographical region by area. To contact the HBA Scottish Regional Representative please see the details opposite.

Hospital Radio stations are always looking for enthusiastic volunteers that live locally and can spare a few hours of their time on a regular basis, so why not volunteer your services to your local station?

Jim Simpson from Grampian Hospital Radio was elected unopposed to the role of HBA Scotland representative at the Scottish Regional General Meeting on 17 August 2008.
