Music Therapy in Healthcare Settings
A structured introduction to what music therapy is, how it works, and how it can support patients, families, and teams.
Northern Ireland Music Therapy Trust
We provide training for healthcare professionals to deepen understanding of music therapy, relational practice, communication, emotional wellbeing, and person-centred support across a range of clinical and care environments.
Healthcare professionals work in environments that are often complex, high-pressure, and emotionally demanding. Our training helps staff think more deeply about communication, relational support, regulation, therapeutic engagement, and the role of music therapy within wider care pathways.

Our work is informed by music therapy practice across health, care, and community settings, giving professionals access to insight that is practical, reflective, and clinically relevant.
We shape training with the realities of healthcare settings in mind, including communication, distress, family context, staff pressure, and multidisciplinary working.
Our training encourages staff to think not only about tasks and systems, but about relationship, regulation, dignity, and the lived experience of care.
