Advice and guidance

HBA provides advice and guidance to the management of the stations on all aspects of running a hospital broadcasting organisation.

This expertise is vital to the stations, as many of a station's members will not have had previous experience in either broadcasting, running or managing an organisation.

The HBA also provides regular training events for those involved with the associations member stations; attracting guest speakers who have a wealth of professional experience in radio broadcasting and interview techniques, radio technology or the finer points of computer based broadcasting software.
