Tipperary University Hospital and Banna Chluain Meala team up for Healing Arts

Tipperary University Hospital and Banna Chluain Meala joined forces to create a delightful musical evening in front of the hospital, on Thursday, May 30th. Patients, visitors, and staff were treated to a captivating performance by talented dancers and musicians. The compilation of modern and classical music lifted spirits and encouraged positivity.

Local resident Pauline Burke, who has been visiting Tipperary University Hospital for the past 80 years, shared her joy with the staff.

She was thrilled to see the happiness on people’s faces as patients looked out of their windows, waving down to the young dancers and musicians.

The “Healing Arts Programme” at Tipperary University began in January 2024. Through creative endeavors, this program aims to alleviate loneliness, tension, and anxiety while promoting positivity. Music, artwork, poetry, and creative writing are used to infuse beauty and grace into the clinical environment.

The management of Tipperary University extends its gratitude to the members of Banna Chluain Meala, the committee, parents, and drivers who generously contributed their time to this successful partnership.

They are wished every success on their trip to Albany, US, in July.

A spokesperson from Banna Chluain Meala expressed their delight in supporting the Patient Advocacy Team’s initiative to enhance patient well-being through music.
