Have you had a #PretermBaby & can you help us co-design a Music Therapy Programme for families & infants? Our #PPI Panel needs your valuable insight #BetterResearch #FamilyLedServices
A lovely spotlight on St John’s Tuesday Boogie, led by our brilliant #MusicTherapy colleague, and friend, @su_hu
Initiatives like this can completely change a child’s experience of hospitalisation.
Well done to all involved! 👏
Today marks World Cancer Day. So @b_gallagher2 went along to @CHI_Ireland Crumlin to meet some amazing children who were enjoying their very own Tuesday Boogie.

When I finished my Masters 12 years ago, I had a promise of 6 hours work a week. Quite the full circle moment to be working full time in my dream role alongside brilliant colleagues @CHI_Ireland #TempleStreet & asked to feature in the #StayCurious campaign for @UL
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.

An amazing conference to have been part of! CVI is the leading cause of Vision Impairment in the Western world yet we still have so much to learn. Thank you to all the wonderful presenters who generously shared their knowledge, @ChildVisionVI for having us and all attendees.

While we're talking about human rights for disabled people, a reminder that children wait years to access disability teams, and that access to specialist paediatric rehabilitation is highly inconsistent. "Striving" is insufficient- statutory protection of the right to care NOW.
