2024 National Paediatric Bioethics Conference: Hope within despair
Music as a therapeutic intervention is often used to transcend deficits and medical acuity, shifting instead to a strengths-based approach. Here, moments of joy are celebrated, and even the smallest positive responses offer parents an opportunity to connect with their child beyond the diagnosis. But is it ethical to foster hope in the face of end-of-life care? Music therapist Jack Thomas relates a life-changing story––with a song in his heart.
Presenter: Jack Thomas, Music Therapist, The Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne. Host: Prof John Massie, Children's Bioethics Centre, RCH Melbourne.
