Singing Medicine

The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust Charity has been working with the Ex-Cathedra Singing Medicine Team which brings its songs and games to poorly youngsters in hospital to improve their health and wellbeing.

We would love to deliver Singing Medicine therapy to our Children’s ward each week.
We need to raise funds to deliver this fantastic project for the year to support our youngest patients stay in hospital.

Singing is a special activity that improves wellbeing, cognitive skills and takes away the fear of being in hospital.

Little Euriel (pictured), aged two, is just one of many patients who has enjoyed this very special treatment while in hospital. His mum, Marthr Makah, said: His face just lit up with the singing games and he was waving, dancing and playing. It has really made me smile when I’m tired and worried too so thank you!

Clare Acton, Acute Paediatrics Matron at the Trust said having Singing Medicine on the ward had boosted staff morale too.

We can have difficult days and are supporting parents and carers in some challenging circumstances when their children are poorly. To walk around the corner and hear such lovely singing boosts our mood too, she said. It is really good for our patient’s wellbeing and their cognitive development and its lovely to see their smiles and hear their laughter.

We need to raise £30,000 to provide this therapy to our patients for a year. You can donate here.
