The Irish Hospital Radio Network Network was founded in 2004 in conjunction with the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland as a representative body for existing Hospital Stations .

Our objective  is to promote and support the development of existing and new hospital based radio stations.

The founding members were Beaumont Hospital Broadcasting Dublin, Cork University Hospital F.M., Mater Hospital Radio Dublin, Regional Hospital Radio Limerick, South Tipperary General Hospital Radio and St Ita's Hospital Radio Dublin.

The Network is funded by The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI 2016). Our  Committee meets on average 4 times per year to plan and organise training and networking events. We also have conference calls between committee members as required.

Since our founding we have organised a number of National Networking Days , Awards Ceremonies, Training Workshops .  We have produced Promotional Leaflets and Training Videos and the Promotional Video at the top of this page which was distributed to Hospital Administrators to educated them in the benefits of Hospital Radio Station.

The IHRN are very proud of the volunteers at each station who give freely of their time each week to inform and entertain our patients and residenst. To recognise this dedication the network awards service pins to volunteers on 5 , 10 and 15 years service as a very small token of appreciation.

On this site you will find information and photographs  of our activities and contact details for the current members of the network and links to useful websites.

A Governance Handbook for Industry Networks: Guide for the Effective Operation of Management Committees and Boards of Directors”, while not a definitive guide, provides a good introduction to the effective operation of Board and Management Committees. The Handbook provides guidance on a range of topics such as governance, financial responsibilities, and running effective board meetings. The Handbook also contains a range of website links, contact details and recommended texts to assist users. The contents of this publication are based on an earlier handbook produced by the BAI’s predecessor, the BCI, as part of the Network Development Project in 2007.

South Tipperary General Hospital Radio hosted the I.H.R.N. Training workshop on Saturday the 14th of April 2012.

The subject for the workshop was media law and the  instructor was Andrea Martin Solicitor specialising in media law and author of the book  Media law in ireland. 

The IHRN's role is to support and promote Hospital Based Broadcasters and groups interested in establishing  Hospital based stations. If you are exploring the possibility of  setting up a Hospital based station and would like assistance  please contact us and we will help as best we can.  

 We are happy to advise existing Member Stations if requested to do so . We will offer what eve practical support we can . 
We acknowledge that the final decision on policies affecting member stations  lies with the relevant stations management.

In January 2013 The Irish Hospital Radio Network surveyed its members to find out what activities and training  they would like the network to organise as we move forward, here are the results of that survey.

We asked our members if they were in favor of the IHRN organising a Hospital Radio awards ceremony. 82% of members that responded were in favour of an awards event with 18% against.

We then asked those in favour of the awards if they were in favour of using the Awards format we have used to date of if they had any suggestions on how  we could improve on that format. 68% were in favour of  continuing to use the existing format wile 32 % wanted some changes to the format. The committee have taken those suggestions on board and when will bear them in mind when planning future awards events.
