Join us to discover the main findings from a recent study, “The impact of an improvised music-making training programme on care home staff : a process evaluation”. This research project was made possible through funding from the National Institute for Health and Care Research School for Social Care Research.

The event will take place online and will include contributions from members of The University of Manchester research team, the Manchester Camerata Orchestra and the Open Doors Research Group, a self-advocacy group of people living with dementia in Greater Manchester.

This research team has been evaluating the impact of a new online music training programme for care home staff that is based around Manchester Camerata’s Music in Mind programme for people living with dementia. During the study, the team has focused on understanding how the online Music in Mind training has impacted upon the wellbeing of care home staff who have participated in the programme.

Using a range of creative and empowering social research methods, including shared online observations of the online Music in Mind interactive sessions and interviews with care home staff, the team have created a ‘theory of change’ model to visually represent what needs to be in place for this work to be impactful, and for opportunities to enhance practice and wellbeing. Alongside the main findings of the research study and its implications for social care practice, this model will be shared and discussed in the webinar.
