Online tool for Long Covid support – NIHR

Long Covid is a global public health problem affecting millions of people to varying degrees. In March 2023, the Office for National Statistics estimated that 1.9 million people were living with Long Covid in the UK.  

The tool is primarily aimed at people who may have Long Covid but are not currently accessing care, but may also be helpful to those who are. It aims to encourage people with probable Long Covid to seek support from the NHS or other services. It covers topics of self-doubt, stigma and effects on mental health as well as offering resources, tips, and advice on next steps.
