Music therapy is transforming dementia care.

At the recent NHS Scotland event, our music therapist Harry Harris presented a compelling poster showing how music therapy is making a real difference on an older adult mental health ward.

From reducing stress and distress to boosting engagement and lowering medication use, Harry’s work highlights the powerful impact of non-drug interventions in dementia care.

📊 Findings from Harry’s study revealed:

✔️ 93% reduction in stress & distress
✔️ Increased patient engagement
✔️ Lower use of medication on music therapy days
