Support after Covid-19: Guidance for people with Long Covid, service providers and policy makers (August 2021)

Summary

These resources from Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh were developed following a study funded by the Chief Scientist Office in Scotland. The study was based on an online survey which people completed between July and August 2020, followed by a further survey six months later. Some participants also took part in a telephone interview to enhance understanding of their responses.

The study used the responses of people living with Long Covid to:

1. develop a resource with advice for people accessing services for Long Covid.
2. write guidance for people providing services relevant to people with Long Covid.
3. write recommendations to inform policy and service design that relate to Long Covid and other impacts of the pandemic.
4. plan a series of short podcasts, interviewing people who have lived experience of Long Covid.
