“One judge said there are more voices on this entry than others I’ve heard, which is lovely.

Another judge said it’s clear Radio Brockley is an integral part of their hospital – not just broadcasting for the patients but also covering various staff events too. A great listen and a deserved winner…” - Silver – Best Speech Package “RNOH Clinical Trials Day” for Ron Laver and Sue Weston’s coverage of the event.
