    In this opinion piece, authors highlight the growing cohort of patients who are suffering symptoms many months after their initial COVID-19 infection and the increasing demand on GP services. They also highlight a need for studies that can illuminate the underlying mechanism and for insights into the nature of this condition, how long it’s likely to go on for, what can be done about it, and through which clinical specialties. "Many estimates of long covid suggest that greater than 10% of acute cases have features that do not resolve over the subsequent months. Extrapolated to the current global burden of covid-19, this suggests potentially over five million current "long haulers"."

    The coronavirus that causes COVID-19 attacks the lungs and respiratory system, sometimes resulting in significant damage. COVID-19 often leads to pneumonia and even acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a severe lung injury. Recovering lung function is possible but can require therapy and exercises for months after the infection is treated.

    With delays to promised support and trusts accused of penalising staff during their recovery, HSJ dig into why the NHS must provide support sooner rather than later for those experiencing Long-COVID. Patient Safety Learning has recently published a blog calling for better information and engagement with patients who have Long COVID: Clear NHS plan needed to reassure Long COVID patients. We have also co-produced a patient information leaflet with the Royal College of General Practitioners, to help patients understand what they can expect from their GP.

    This report from the Centre for Perioperative Care provides evidence to justify the case for perioperative care, the integrated multidisciplinary care of patients from the moment surgery is contemplated through to full recovery. This report has brought together a wide range of research about the effectiveness of perioperative care. It considered over 27,000 studies in preparing this review. The results show that perioperative care is associated with high quality clinical outcomes, reduced financial cost and better patient satisfaction. A perioperative approach can increase how prepared and empowered people feel before and after surgery. This can reduce complications and the amount of time that people stay in hospital after surgery, meaning that people feel better sooner and are able to resume their day-to-day life. The review highlights the effectiveness of clear perioperative pathways, with an average two-day reduction in hospital stay across multiple types of surgery. Different interventions, including prehabilitation, exercise and smoking cessation can significantly reduce complications by 30% to 80%. This scale of benefits is far greater than many new drugs or treatments launched.

    This blog, published in the BMJ, is written by Editor-in-Chief Alison Twycross and Dr Jake Suett, a staff grade doctor in Intensive Care, who both have suspected Long Covid. They discuss what Long Covid is and discuss some of the employment related issues health care professionals may encounter.  They are keen to hear from nurses, midwives and other health care professionals with Long Covid about the issues they are facing. Posts on several of the Long Covid Facebook groups suggest that these issues include: Being denied full sick pay because they haven’t had a positive test for COVID-19 (despite the unavailability of tests and relatively high incidence of false negatives). Employers only applying the COVID-19 enhanced sick pay to staff in the acute phase of illness. Being expected to use annual leave for a phased return to work.

    A large sample of non-hospitalised COVID-19 patients still experience multiple symptoms months after being infected. These persistent symptoms are associated with many clinically relevant outcomes, including poor health status and impaired functional status. To date, no information is available about care dependency. The authors of this study, published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, aimed to explore the level of care dependency and the need for assistance with personal care in non-hospitalised COVID-19 patients.

    Restorative justice is an approach that aims to replace hurt by healing in the understanding that the perpetrators of pain are also victims of the incident themselves. In 2016, Mersey Care, an NHS community and mental health trust in the Liverpool region, implemented restorative justice (or what it termed a 'Just and Learning Culture') to fundamentally change its responses to incidents, patient harm, and complaints against staff. This study highlights the qualitative benefits from this implementation and also identifies the economic effects of restorative justice.

Many thousands of COVID-19 survivors are unfortunately doing just that, suffering strange, debilitating symptoms that come and go for months after first coming down with the novel virus. Unfortunately we are discovering that the disease can not only be deadly, but chronic — or as sufferers call it, 'long-haul.'
