Life, Loss and Lullabies’ Evaluating the role of Music Therapy in Paediatric Palliative Care

Children and young people with life-limiting conditions and their families face significant challenges in their lives.  Music therapy is reported to help improve their quality of life and wellbeing by offering an alternative means of emotional expression, supporting relationships and creating memories. However, there is little evidence about the specific benefits of music therapy for children with life-limiting conditions or understanding about how and when music therapy should be used in children’s palliative care.

This research aims to explore experiences of music therapy in children's palliative care, develop evidence about potential benefits and increase understanding about how music therapy should be delivered for children with life-limiting conditions
