Spotlight on Long COVID: Part 2

According to new figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), an estimated 1.3 million people in the UK reported suffering from long COVID in December. The prevalence of self-reported long COVID has remained highest in people living in more deprived areas and those working in health or social care.

Six months on from our first Spotlight on long COVID, this second episode will look at the current prevalence and cases of long COVID, how our understanding of symptoms and treatments has moved on, and the challenges around access to care.

This episode will:

• Advise health professionals on how to continue managing and supporting patients with long COVID using the latest research and treatments
• Showcase how long COVID has impacted children and young people
• Discuss the challenges and solutions around access to care, and rising referral rates to long COVID clinics
• Address the various barriers that different population groups like minority ethnic communities are facing around long COVID
• Find out how healthcare workers are being affected by long COVID e.g. morale, workforce turnover, wellbeing
• Understand how other countries are coping with long COVID and what they are doing differently to the UK

In addition, we are offering all those who book another chance to watch the first episode of Spotlight on Long COVID with a free link to the recording.
