Hospital Services

We provide in-reach services for young people and adults receiving treatment on inpatient acute, intensive care, secure and rehab psychiatric hospital wards.

Using a pop-up recording studio format our specially trained musicians and producers encourage patient engagement in song writing, lyricism, beat making, production and recording.

The sessions offer an accessible, inclusive and energising mix of genres.

Patients are supported and encouraged to step up to the mic, have a go writing lyrics and music, make beats, produce and record tracks or simply enjoy the sounds.

We work closely with ward staff to tailor session format and content to suit ward specialisms and patient interests.

An audit after each session reviews clinical feedback, patient engagement and comments and can be included in patient satisfaction surveys.

Our approach is effective in engaging patients who might not be motivated to participate in other ward activities. It’s a useful way of signposting patients to our community programme, and visits to our studio can be arranged with ward staff or care team which can help to contribute to care planning post-discharge from hospital.
