Our Vision...

Music as an intrinsic part of health and social care everywhere

A long-standing patient has got great comfort from the music... it has brought a tear to my eye.

...their heart rate reduced to a level where we could happily send them home earlier.

They make the ward feel nicer and it puts a smile on your face. The music makes the day easier!

For me, it has presented a pathway into a different, very rewarding way of making music professionally.

Great interactive day. Thought provoking on how to incorporate music in care and practice. Thank you!

OPUS Music Training at Mansfield Community Hospital

24 October, 2024

OPUS Music recently delivered an invigorating and deeply engaging music training session at Mansfield Community Hospital, as part of our ongoing partnership with Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

On 16th October 2024, we at OPUS Music CIC were thrilled to be part of Sherwood Forest Hospitals Foundation Trust's Celebrating Excellence Day. It was a wonderful opportunity to share our work on building a "musical hospital," bringing music into the heart of patient care. Our musicians performed live throughout the day, creating moments of connection and joy for staff and patients alike.

"Thank you so much for the music today and at the end of last year when you played for our newborn son in the Intensive Care Unit. He is now 4½ months old and he cannot go to sleep without listening to your CD. The whole family likes listening to your songs and singing along."
