Radio Royal is the hospital radio for Bradford Royal Infirmary, based within their own studios at BRI.

Radio Royal is a Charity and is entirely run by volunteers, who give a few hours a week, either presenting or producing, providing music and information to listeners across BRI.

We are requiring more people to help us run the Radio, whether that be presenting or assisting a show, or helping with the technical and engineering functions behind the scenes.

Radio Royal play a variety of music, played to suit a wide age range of listeners and it is important to always remember Radio Royal are representing an NHS organisation, conversing, dealing with and being observed by patients, visitors and staff members. Professional, respectable and sensible behaviour must be displayed at all times.

Whilst Radio Royal have their own specific training in place, as an NHS volunteer it is mandatory to follow all Trust volunteer recruitment and induction policies to be able to volunteer within Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. This will be provided by the Voluntary Services Team.

A professional approach should be maintained at all times. Political opinion and bad language are not permitted.

As Radio Royal is a Charity, as a volunteer we ask that you support any fundraising activities which take place, to ensure Radio Royal continues to be funded and remains financially secure.

If you would like more information, please contact Radio Royals Chair George Sumner.
