Radio West Middlesex was honoured with a visit from June Snowden, president of the Hospital Broadcasting Association, on Saturday (June 14).

She was there to present a certificate of long service to volunteers at the hospital radio station, which has been broadcasting to patients at West Middlesex Hospital, in Isleworth, since 1967.

Ms Snowden, who helped introduce patients' requests, plans to visit 40 radio hospital stations across the country this year to celebrate her 40-year association with hospital radio.

The Hospital Broadcasting Association is a national charity supporting and promoting hospital radio stations.

Radio West Mid revealed earlier this year how Lady In Red had topped its list of most requested songs by patients in 2013.

The station has appealed for volunteers to help out at the station, from collecting requests to presenting shows.

If you have a few hours to spare in the evenings during the week, or want a song played for a loved one in the hospital, call the station on 020 8321 5166 or email studio@radiowestmiddlesex.org.uk
