We are pleased to announce that we have been awarded a contract by NHS England to deliver a series of projects to support the development of art, drama and music therapy, as part of the wider AHP Professional Bodies Education Reform Commission.
Working closely together, The British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT), the British Association for Music Therapy (BAMT) and the British Association of Dramatherapists (BADth) will deliver the projects’ outcomes. The work will be hosted by BAAT, with significant engagement being undertaken with the public; service users; art, drama and music therapists; and employers.
We look forward to working together to learn more about how people understand our professions and what we do, to learn more fully what enables and supports service users, how to prepare trainees for the realities of the modern workplace, and to develop a career framework that can support registrants to understand all of the opportunities that are available and to realise their dreams.
Thanks to Beverley Harden, National AHP Lead and Deputy Chief AHP (England), for her passionate on-going commitment to art, drama and music therapy. And to Paul Chapman and Sharon Kibble from NHS England for their support in embarking upon this work.
