So proud of my fabulous colleague, Senior Music Therapist, @su_hu and all the children in John's ward who take part in the weekly Tuesday boogie!

Fantastic video about my wonderful @CHI_Ireland colleague @AlisonSweeneyMT and her journey to becoming senior music therapist in @TempleStreetHos Alison was the year ahead of me in UL and I'm very lucky to still work alongside such a kind, talented powerhouse of a therapist.
At UL, Alison Sweeney found a way to marry her love of music with her fascination for human behaviour.
As Senior Music Therapist in @templestreethos, Alison helps young people navigate their hospital journey through music therapy.

It was #MusicTherapyWeek 🎶
Music Therapy aims to help our patients and families navigate their hospital journey and cope with their experience of illness, treatment and hospitalisation.
Thank you to our wonderful music therapists who provide a vital service to our hospital ❤️

Do you work in cancer care in Ireland? IPSON (Irish Psycho-Social Oncology Network @IRLpson) would be grateful if you could complete a quick 15-minute anonymous survey: nursingandmidwifery.fra1.qua…. Please share with colleagues. Thank you.
It was such a privilege to have had the chance to sing with Christy Dignam. I'll never forget the goosebumps the first time hearing him sing acoustically a few feet away in rehearsal.. A beautiful voice and human. Rest in Peace 🙏🎶

Research is the backbone of any profession. It tests hypotheses, challenges pre-existing perceptions, highlights the service user’s voice & identifies and supports best practice. Celebrating 25 years of #musictherapy research in Ireland.

Great article. A desperately necessary conversation.
Amazing to see our Annual Lecture being covered by Sheila Wayman in the @IrishTimes!
Let's continue the conversation on how we can all play a part to improve a child's experience of medical procedures.

Infact, at a recent SCOPe @WeHSCPs w/shop, interprofessional working with Music Therapy featured amongst the 'work we're most proud of' 👏
Let's keep building so ALL pts who need it can access this service.

Thank you Alison!! It goes without saying that without the support and collaboration of the @WeHSCPs the music therapy service would not have been as successful as it has been to date! More progression is needed both nationally and locally! Thank you !!
Well done Róisín & sincere gratitude for all you do to educate & advocate for #musictherapy. The evidence speaks for itself but it's still necessary we keep getting the message out there:music therapy is an effective evidence based pyschosocial intervention accross the lifespan!
Privileged to have had the opportunity to present and demonstrate various techniques, approaches and research-base of #musictherapy. A day full of fruitful discussions and connections! @MISAEducation @stjamesdublin @TheIACAT @AlisonEnright2 @TCDGerontology @HSELive @WeHSCPs
