Moving minds dance and movement programme
24 APRIL 2025
York & Scarborough Hospitals Charity has funded moving minds sessions at York and Scarborough hospitals.
Sian Whitely works with recorded music with groups of patients, moving to the music with ribbons, scarves and balloons.
Research shows music can be an effective way to engaging people, and can create improved communication between staff and patients, enabling a better understanding of the individual and a greater focus on patient-centred care.
The moving minds dance and movement programme is designed to help individuals reconnect with their bodies, reduce stress, and improve their overall mood.
