Local hospital radio station Radio Ysbyty Gwynedd has been shortlisted for two awards in the prestigious National Hospital Radio Awards 2022.
The station has been nominated for the ‘Station of the Year’ award and presenter Sarah Wynn Griffiths has been nominated for ‘Best Female Presenter of the Year’ award.
Radio Ysbyty Gwynedd came top 5 for the second year running in the national Community Radio Awards 2021 and are delighted to be recognised for their work in the National Hospital Radio Awards this year.
Kevin Williams, Chairman of Radio Ysbyty Gwynedd is overwhelmed by the recognition “As a station, we are all so proud to be nominated for two awards in the National Hospital Radio Awards 2022. We had a fantastic year last year; we developed our station with more programmes and new presenters and we came top 5 in the UK for the second year running in the Community Radio Awards for our work in Ysbyty Gwynedd and our wider community.
“Our team of volunteers and presenters work so hard on their programmes and the running of our station which has resulted in even more new programmes this year and the recruitment of more new presenters.
“I am over the moon with our award nominations and I’m proud of Sarah’s nomination for ‘Best Female Presenter of the Year’, very well deserved. We are so honoured to be recognised nationally again this year.”
Chairman of the Hospital Broadcasting Association, Grant McNaughton, commented “Hospital Broadcasting organisations across the UK have continued to deliver entertaining entertainment, news and information to healthcare users throughout this pandemic.
“What is truly remarkable is that our member stations have adapted to these difficult times and remained committed to serving, producing and presenting dedicated local radio for the healthcare community.
“Our National Hospital Radio Awards recognise the talent and dedication of hospital broadcasting volunteers, and this year’s entries showcase that remarkable talent and commitment.”
The National Hospital Radio Awards will take place in Bolton later on this year.
