Welcome to the Minds Matter
Musicians’ Toolkit.
This toolkit is designed to provide musicians with guidance for delivering music in paediatric healthcare.
The recommendations are based on 15 years of music programming in Alder Hey Children’s Hospital. This includes learning from the Minds Matter project with Live Music Now, during which musicians focused their work on addressing the wellbeing and mental health of long-term patients in the hospital post Covid-19.
