This service evaluation aims to identify the provision, role and perceived impact of UK music therapists in supporting patients receiving palliative and end of life care (PEOLC), their families and health and social care professionals. It was found that although the evidence suggests that provision of music therapy in UK PEOLC settings in the past 10 years has increased, lack of sustainable funding means the role is not consistently accessible in this setting.
