    An increasing number of people with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 are continuing to struggle with prolonged, debilitating and sometimes severe symptoms months later.[1] Many were never admitted to hospital and have instead been trying to manage their symptoms and recovery at home. These patients are sometimes referred to as the ‘long-haulers’ or described as having ‘post-acute’, ‘chronic’ or ‘long-term’ COVID-19. Here, we will use the term ‘Long COVID’. With social distancing restrictions still in place, patients in the UK and across the world have been turning to social media support networks[2] to connect with others who are experiencing similar challenges. These patients have raised very credible concerns about the care they are receiving[3] and the uncertainties they face. Their concerns are revealing many implications for patient safety. We have recently shared on the hub the story of Dr Jake Suett[4], one of the many people experiencing symptoms of Long COVID. When we conclude this article, we will return to his story and highlight the changes that he is calling for. However, first, we will focus on the patient safety aspects of Long COVID, highlighting key areas of concern and action needed (a full list of actions can be found summarised here).
