Music in Mind Training: Producing a theory of change model to evaluate the implementation of an improvisation-based music-making training programme for care home staff working with people with dementia.

Background: In the UK, care home staff are often involved in musical practices as part of their professional activities. However, to date there is a lack of relational evidence that underpins improvisational music-making programmes in care homes, as related to the wellbeing of care home staff and musicians who deliver such work. This process evaluation accesses Manchester Camerata's 20-week 'Music in Mind Training' programme for care home staff working with people living with dementia in care homes, with a focus on care home staff.
