Our IMAGINED research project with the Edinburgh Centre for Research on the Experience of Dementia (ECRED) has got off to a flying start with a knowledge-exchange and co-design workshop at St Columba's Hospice Care.
In 2023/24, 50 hours of live music took place as part of the weekly 'jam sessions' at Royal Edinburgh Hospital in The Hive, which have been running for over ten years.
Music in Hospitals & Care are excited to be working with the University of Edinburgh, specifically the Edinburgh Centre for Research on the Lived Experience of Dementia.
Caroline Barker has been a Senior Charge Nurse in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh’s Intensive Care and High Dependency Units for over 25 years. Our musicians have recently been able to go back into critical wards at the hospital for the first time since before the pandemic.
