Harrogate Hospital Radio has been nominated for a number of National Hospital Radio Awards.

Harrogate Hospital Radio has been nominated for multiple awards at this year's National Hospital Radio Awards.

The National Hospital Radio Awards are often dubbed the “Oscars” of the radio broadcasting world.

And among those named as a finalist is Shelbi Belfitt, who joined Harrogate Hospital Radio last year.

Shelbi, who brings her vibrant energy to ‘Shelbi’s World of Pop’ every Tuesday, has been nominated for ‘Best Newcomer’.

She said:

"I am over the moon to be shortlisted for Best Newcomer.

"I am so proud, excited, and incredibly grateful for the opportunities Harrogate Hospital Radio has given me."

Ellie Jackson has been nominated for ‘Best Specialist Music Show’ for her vibrant and entertaining 'Solid Gold 60s.'

Ellie - for the second consecutive year - is also up for ‘Best Female Presenter’, a category she has dominated with her charm and professionalism.

Ray Milligan, the voice behind ‘Morning Cuppa,’ has also been nominated for ‘Best Station Promotion.’

His nomination is being recognised for its ability to deliver an "engaging, clear, and concise" message that truly resonates with listeners.

Oliver Johnson, Marketing Manager, said:

“I am absolutely thrilled for the incredible finalists!

"Their unwavering passion, dedication, and boundless energy have made a profound impact on patients, their families, friends, and the entire staff at Harrogate District Hospital.

"They should take immense pride in their remarkable achievements.

"As we look ahead to an exciting year, I am looking forward to seeing our wonderful society grow from strength to strength’’.
