Health and social care blog
Health and social care is one of the largest volunteering sectors in the UK. This includes organisations like the NHS and charities which improve the wellbeing of people of all ages. So what do helpers actually get involved with? The opportunities are more diverse than we imagined as our bloggers reveal.

A Christmas Miracle
I love working for a charity, but one of the main reasons I joined hospital radio initially was for the work experience - specifically to get the chance of doing my own show with the hope of getting into professional radio. But for the year I've been at NHR I've discovered that I actually prefer the other side of what I do there - the fundraising, so I've recently been applying for jobs in this area. I had an interview at Diabetes UK last week for a fundraising job, and got it! I wouldn't even have had a chance at getting an interview without the skills I've gained at NHR. I graduated from uni over three years ago and thanks to my voluntary work it finally feels like I've discovered the right career path for me!

Sorry for the late reply. Hospital radio is a radio station which broadcasts to the patients of a particular hospital and they can normally listen through their bedside patientline system. Patients can also use patientline to call the station and request songs. Most large hospitals have their own station and some have an FM licence which means that people in the local area can also listen to the broadcast. I am sure some stations do have an arabic section. It might be worth contacting your local hospital radio station to find out.
