Singing In The Wards

Music and entertainment is a big part of daily life at our Children’s Hospital and something our charity has always supported.

During the pandemic, much of this activity was paused to keep our patients safe, but as restrictions lifted we were pleased to welcome back the wonderful Singing Medicine and Rhythm Time teams to our wards again.

These sessions, funded by our charity, use a holistic approach to recovery through music.
