ENO in singing pilot scheme to support Covid-19 sufferers

English National Opera (ENO) has partnered with Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust on a six-week online pilot programme to support the recovery of Covid-19 survivors who are still experiencing breathlessness or anxiety. The Trust already uses singing as part of the integrated care for people with chronic respiratory issues, often related to smoking and asthma. ENO Breathe will be open to patients who have been referred by an NHS specialist, using lullabies as the basis of a programme of singing, breathing and wellbeing. It is currently being piloted in London with plans to expand it nationwide.
