Grant awarded to SPARC and the Department of Music

The STROKESTRA Research Team, led by Dr Elaine King (Music, FACE), with Caroline White (SPARC, FHS), Helen Prior (Music, FACE) and Helen Gibson (Psychological Health, Wellbeing & Social Work, FHS) has received a 50th Anniversary Research and Development Award of £8600 from the Society of Education, Music and Psychology Research (SEMPRE). The award will contribute towards the costs of delivering our research into the effectiveness of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s STROKESTRA music rehabilitation programme, for people who have had a stroke and their families/carers. The research aims to identify how STROKESTRA is implemented, experienced and facilitated as well as to evaluate its impact on the wellbeing and post-stroke recovery of patients and carers. The research will provide ground-breaking evidence into best practice for joint implementation and delivery of arts-based rehabilitation by health professionals and creative practitioners, for disabled people and people with long-term health conditions, including those who have experienced a stroke. The team is collaborating with members of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and City Health Care Partnership. More information is available here.
