Medical and Well-being

It is common for patients to feel stressed whilst waiting for a consultation. Hence, medical centres adorn customer-reception areas with comforting visual effects such as works of art and pastel colours. Given the fact that music is the most emotive of the senses, it is therefore surprising that it receives less attention in its use and selection. It is well documented that music has a unique capacity to relieve stress, and through its emotional content, to associate feelings of well being in situ. Therefore, as part of a total gestalt atmosphere in which patients 1) feel comfortable and relaxed in, and 2) feel secure in returning to, judiciously chosen music should be considered. But the right music needs to be selected with knowledge and experience of the psychological effects of music on human behaviour and cognition (see my Masters dissertation on the cognitive and behavioural effects of background music).

What makes this music appropriate is not the genre (this is a misconception even among 'experts') but rather the music constituents of tonality, tempo, texture, form and melodic range; and of course the volume level. This is why I can be of service to you. I compile +10 hour mp3 music packages based on the specific requirements of your medical business image and customer demographic. As well as general medical centres, I also provide playlists for dental practices, beauty spas and the like.
