Power of Music Launch

Hertfordshire has been selected as the second Centre of Excellence for Music and Dementia by the National Academy for Social Prescribing (NASP) through its Power of Music Fund.

This pioneering initiative will use the power of music to transform dementia care across the county, improving the lives of thousands of people living with dementia and upskilling care staff to integrate music into everyday practice.

Music can be a lifeline for people living with dementia, offering comfort, connection, and moments of joy. We know how vital it is for our health and social care workforce to understand its benefits and feel confident using music techniques to provide support. This funding will help to develop, test, and scale up a model that can be used across the country - ensuring that many more people can experience the transformative power of music
