National Hospital Radio Award Winners 2020

The winners of the National Hospital Radio Awards 2020 have been announced via an online presentation in place of the cancelled awards evening.

The awards are an annual celebration of the excellent year-on-year standards found in hospital radio stations across the country.

They are open to any HBA member station, and are divided into different categories, each one recognising a specific area of excellence; some are awarded to individuals, others to stations.

Most of the categories recognise gold, silver, and bronze winners; however, two prizes are awarded to only one individual with no runner-up places.

This year there was a dead heat for Station of the Year meaning two Silver awards were awarded.
