Alder Hey Children's Hospital
Eleanor is a project musician at Alder Hey Children's hospital as a part of their Music as Medicine programme which is a Live Music Now partnership project with the Arts for Health team. Musicians are trained to deliver bespoke, interactive music sessions for long-term patients in the hospital, with funding from Youth Music. For many patients, the music sessions have helped to take their mind off their illness and provided an enjoyable activity, shared with family members. Eleanor works on the neurology ward and loves creating, playing and exploring music with the children.
