We are a registered Charity no. 264132 run entirely by volunteers. We serve the patients of Hillingdon Hospital, which in case you were wondering is close to Heathrow Airport, London, England. We are a Radio Station in a Hospital. Our aim is to brighten up the stay of the patients, by broadcasting music requests and dedications, national and local news and the best selection of music, 24 hours a day. We play something for everyone of all ages. Our service is broadcast FREE of charge on the Hospedia Bedside Entertainment System on Radio channel 45, and online at radiohillingdon.com so relatives of the patients can listen as well, from the comfort of their favourite Living room armchair.
Radio Hillingdon is not funded by the NHS and all of our day to day running costs are met with funds raised by our volunteers. If you would like to help us please make sure you visit our Fund-raising page or use our web shop further down this page.
Thank you for visiting us and we hope you enjoy exploring our website.
Stephen Hickman, Chairman - Hospital Radio Hillingdon
Radio Hillingdon won gold in the National Hospital Radio Awards on Saturday night (25 March 2023) in the Best Specialist Music Programme category for Dr Savi Arora's 'Smooth Groovers' programme.
Dr Savi said, "I am extremely proud to have won this award. I love volunteering for Radio Hillingdon. I get great enjoyment from presenting my programme".
Dr Savi joined Radio Hillingdon as a volunteer in 2019 as well as joining the Radio Hillingdon Management Committee this year.
He presents his award-winning show on Saturdays 9pm to 11pm which is repeated on Mondays from 5pm until 7pm.
Smooth Groovers' contains Smooth Soul, Jazz and Funk music. Checkout our Electronic Programme Guide to find out other programmes Dr Savi presents.
This is the fourth year that Radio Hillingdon has won a broadcasting award.
For a third year running Radio Hillingdon has scooped an Award. We received a 2022 SPECIAL Award at the National Hospital Broadcasting Awards called 'Recognising Innovation Across Hospital Radio'. This is designed to recognise those behind the scenes, this award celebrates pushing the boundaries and using innovative, novel or pioneering ideas.
During the 2020 lockdown David Brown one of our Founder Members and a retired IT Manager started looking at an idea to make an adapter that could be attached to a TV to show NHS and station information slides and play Radio Hillingdon live broadcasts from the TV speakers. He proved the idea worked and has so far built seven units. Four are located in various Hillingdon Hospital outpatient departments, one is running in the Choices Restaurant and two are in a local care home, with more planned.
