About Us

Mission

Our mission is to spread the word far and wide about the benefits of using music to support and enhance wellbeing for people who are living with dementia. With this website, we aim to deliver a digital learning platform to support professional health care staff and unpaid carers to gain confidence and skills in using music in this way, as well as increased knowledge about when and how we might use music therapists for specialist support and guidance.

Throughout the website there are opportunities to interact and reflect upon the material. Please do take the opportunity to use these questions to engage with the material and support your understanding.

Who is this for?

This program is for healthcare staff who are working within the NHS, social care staff in care homes and unpaid carers who are supporting people who are living with dementia at home. It may be useful for anyone looking to learn more about music therapy and its role in dementia, as well as healthcare staff who may be considering working in dementia in the future.
