HPR- Health Professional Radio

HPR is an internet only radio network that has been broadcasting globally with dedicated audio streams for Brisbane Sydney and Melbourne over the internet now for 2 years. It targets health professionals in hospital based environments but does not exclude other health professionals or the public from listening.

Health Professional Radio is a health dedicated media channel. The station format is "news and talk" with Health News, Health interviews, and audio shorts like "On This Day in Health", "Feature Hospital of the Day" and "Fun Facts and Health Statistics". This is all original content created by our own producers. Some content is clinical, some management orientated and some lifestyle orientated.

All stories are archived on the web, cross posted and promoted on social media and there are transcripts posted on our website. The relevant state ministers have been advised and there is an ongoing awareness campaign though hospital boards and management. The Queensland minister has included a link to HPR on the Clinicians Knowledge Network on the department’s intranet.

Health professionals listen to radio on computers and smart phones at nurses stations, clinics, in their cars and even during surgery – places they can’t use social media.
