Further information

Founded in 1970, by two founder members, the late Alistair Gardner and Donnie Aird, the organisation grew to broadcast to the three hospitals in Inverness.

In 1998, we moved to Raigmore Hospital in brand new, dedicated studios with approximately 50 volunteers. There are two identical studios with a library and office space all located within the main hospital. Patientline has recently been introduced and the Station is shortly hoping to convert to a 24 hour automated system.
