about the shrs website

This website was launched on 10 August 2003 by Charles McVey, who was the HBA Scotland Regional Representative at the time and is designed to act as a gateway to hospital broadcasting stations in Scotland.

The website and domain name are hosted by SupaNames and the site is created using Freeway from Softpress Systems. Site statistics are produced by FreewayPro and StatCounter; documents and graphics created using Adobe Creative Suite; and the Lightbox effect for enlarging photographs is from HuddleTogether.

Each station is responsible for the content of their own information page and can also contribute to other site content. All external links are given in good faith but cannot be guaranteed.
