Dear all

Back in 2015, I put a call out to find which Trusts had choirs for patients.   The background was that one of our speech and language therapists had set up a choir for patients with long term neurological conditions. 
 
I summarised the responses for the list at the time, but I’ve now been asked to check again as the LCH choir has been running very successfully, and the SLT is looking to write a business case for more permanent funding.
 
So – if your NHS Trust has a choir for patients, please could you let me know, and with any contact details if at all possible?
 
Also, if you are aware of any research that your local choir has been involved with, again, please can you let me know?
 
We’re already aware of the following reference which we alerted to, and had just been submitted for publication, at the time of my last query.
 
A mixed-method systematic review to investigate the effect of group singing on health related quality of life

With many thanks
