Music Therapy students

We love having Music Therapy students Mat and Eliza at Murdoch, who are here completing a number of practical hours with our Registered Music Therapist Giuseppe.

Mat and Eliza are both studying a Master of Music Therapy at The University of Melbourne where they are based in Perth and head over to Melbourne for intensive study periods throughout the year.

Music Therapy is an integral part of our Allied Health team and provides a range of benefits for our patients with the aim to improve pain management, elevate mood and reduce anxiety symptoms, promote relaxation, improve sleep and provide companionship.

Some comments on Facebook about Mat and Eliza:

Eliza you sound amazing and what a difference you made for the lady's last chemo last week! tears all round you were fantastic!! And made the day very memorable for her she was so grateful

It's the best!

Cheers everyone up and even gets a couple of us singing along

Eliza has such a beautiful voice and nature. Also helped our chemo patient with his song

Officially, scrub scouts!

Congratulations to Kate, Naomi, Leah and Nina who have completed their Scrub Scout Discovery Program in our Theatre Department, which is a 12-month course to upskill and be equipped with the tools and knowledge to take on a role in our Perioperative team.

All four nurses have been offered and accepted roles as Scrub Scout nurses in our team and we can't wait to keep watching them grow!
