Introduction

Launched in late 2007 thehospitalclub.com is a private online social professional network for anyone who's anyone in the media and creative industries. A veritable who's who of creative London, the site is for anyone who could use a one-stop shop that keeps you up-to-date with the latest industry news and views, expands your connections and entertains you along the way with a smorgasbord of opinion, insight and commentary.

You can use the site to showcase your ideas or find yourself a job, or if you simply haven't got your work head on, you can dive right on in and divert yourself with all manner of weird and wonderful features. And when you want to escape your computer screen, we'll give you our pick of the pops for what's going on in the real world.

Whether you want to work, get things done or simply have a good laugh thehospitalclub.com is your home-away-from-home. With content updated and added daily there's always going to be something that provides a little bit of insight, inspiration or at the very least provokes a raised eyebrow or a bit of a chuckle. Imagine Facebook, but for your industry, then imagine marrying this to the Media Guardian and adding a smattering of Popbitch for good measure. What you get is thehospitalclub.com.
