SUMMARY:The Cheyne Gang - Room 4
DESCRIPTION:Sing to Breathe\n\n	The Cheyne Gang is a community singing group for people living with long-term respiratory conditions such as COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)\, Asthma\, Bronchiectasis - in fact any respiratory condition that causes long-term breathlessness. \n\nAbout The Cheyne Gang\n\n\nThe Cheyne Gang\, so called because we held our first sessions in Cheyne Street\, Edinburgh and because our members shared the common bond of COPD\, originated in 2013 as a research project. Pauline Waugh\, Anne Ritchie and Sarah Marshall are General Practice Nurses with an interest in COPD and other respiratory illnesses.  They also enjoy singing in their leisure time.   \nThe aim of the research was to look at the impact of singing in a group on the quality of life of the participants. We continue to assess quality of life of our participants today although the research project is finished.   \nWe know that there have been measurable improvements on quality of life for the majority of our members. \nIncidentally we noted a reduction in exacerbations (chest infections)\, a reduction in reliever inhaler use and a reduction in hospital admissions. \nFrom small beginnings we have grown.  We now have four groups in Edinburgh\, one in Innerleithen\, and one in Glasgow with plans to start a Highland group in 2024.  In addition we support one group in Helensburgh.​ \nSo if you are breathless\, or know someone who would benefit from joining the Cheyne Gang\, please contact us.  See details on the Contact page.\n \n\nAnnie McKenzie worked with children with special needs and is now retired. She is a swimming teacher and loves singing.

SUMMARY:The Cheyne Gang - Room 4
DESCRIPTION:Sing to Breathe\n\n	The Cheyne Gang is a community singing group for people living with long-term respiratory conditions such as COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)\, Asthma\, Bronchiectasis - in fact any respiratory condition that causes long-term breathlessness. \n\nAbout The Cheyne Gang\n\n\nThe Cheyne Gang\, so called because we held our first sessions in Cheyne Street\, Edinburgh and because our members shared the common bond of COPD\, originated in 2013 as a research project. Pauline Waugh\, Anne Ritchie and Sarah Marshall are General Practice Nurses with an interest in COPD and other respiratory illnesses.  They also enjoy singing in their leisure time.   \nThe aim of the research was to look at the impact of singing in a group on the quality of life of the participants. We continue to assess quality of life of our participants today although the research project is finished.   \nWe know that there have been measurable improvements on quality of life for the majority of our members. \nIncidentally we noted a reduction in exacerbations (chest infections)\, a reduction in reliever inhaler use and a reduction in hospital admissions. \nFrom small beginnings we have grown.  We now have four groups in Edinburgh\, one in Innerleithen\, and one in Glasgow with plans to start a Highland group in 2024.  In addition we support one group in Helensburgh.​ \nSo if you are breathless\, or know someone who would benefit from joining the Cheyne Gang\, please contact us.  See details on the Contact page.\n \n\nAnnie McKenzie worked with children with special needs and is now retired. She is a swimming teacher and loves singing. Annie is the Administrator for the Leith and Stockbridge Groups.\n \n\n\n\n	\n		\n\n			\n			\n\n							\n					\n						Upcoming Events					\n				\n			\n			\n				\n											\n\n	\n	\n		\n			Apr		\n		\n			24		\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n\n				\n					\n		\n		9:00 am - 5:00 pm	\n	\n					\n	\n		Harbour	\n\n				\n\n				\n			\n		\n	\n\n\n											\n\n	\n	\n		\n			Apr		\n		\n			24		\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n\n				\n					\n	\n	\n	\n\n\n\n	Featured\n	\n		10:00 am - 12:00 pm	\n	\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n	\n\n	\n\n\n					\n	\n		Duncan Place Craft Group (Friday morning) – Big Duncan room	\n\n				\n\n				\n			\n		\n	\n\n\n											\n\n	\n	\n		\n			Apr		\n		\n			24		\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n\n				\n					\n		\n		12:30 pm - 2:30 pm	\n	\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n	\n\n	\n\n\n					\n	\n		YMCA	\n\n				\n\n				\n			\n		\n	\n\n\n											\n\n	\n	\n		\n			Apr		\n		\n			24		\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n\n				\n					\n	\n	\n	\n\n\n\n	Featured\n	\n		3:00 pm - 5:00 pm	\n	\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n	\n\n	\n\n\n					\n	\n		Dungeons and Dragons	\n\n				\n\n				\n			\n		\n	\n\n\n											\n\n	\n	\n		\n			Apr		\n		\n			25		\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n\n				\n					\n		\n		9:30 am - 12:00 pm	\n	\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n	\n\n	\n\n\n					\n	\n		The Piping Center	\n\n				\n\n				\n			\n		\n	\n\n\n									\n\n				\n	\n		View Calendar
