NHS Confederation Chair Victor Adebowale on Question Time: Q.Does Britain have a sick note culture? A. Noโฆ Itโs cruelโฆ2m people have #LongCovid, a recognised illness as a result of #Covidโฆvery rarely met someone who doesnโt want to workโฆ We need to stop using performative language.โ

Here is our joint press release with Long Covid Support ๐ & Covid Action (Now!) sent out after the most recent Office for National Statistics (ONS) data (for England &Scotland not Wales) โOur government consistently fails to consider Long Covid when discussing the long-term health of the countryโ longcovidsos.org/post/why-is-thโฆ

We love this quote from a The LISTEN project participant ๐ The LISTEN intervention, based on Bridges & the real life experience of people living with Long Covid, changed self-efficacy, increased feelings of symptom control, & improved fatigue, emotional well-being & quality of life.


Our co-design paper has been published in Health Expectations! โ This was co-written with our patient involvement group & shares how we co-designed the #LongCovid intervention๐ doi.org/10.1111/hex.14โฆ Population Health Research Fiona Jones Fiona Leggat @DrJackieMcRae ๐ Jessfish IanP


How much does #LongCovid cost society? This research from the LOCOMOTIONstudy presents the economic impact of LC on people with the condition, their informal carers & the national economy. Attention on LC must not diminish - people need more support! evidence.nihr.ac.uk/alert/how-muchโฆ

Sorry for being a bit quiet recently! We're really busy working on several exciting updates... 1. Publishing our research as journal articles to show how the LISTEN intervention can help people! 2. Refining the LISTEN book with Bridges Self-Management using participants feedback


๐ฃ Excellent news that the original decision has been changed and Long Covid Kids / [email protected] will now be a Core Participant in Module 8 of the #CovidInquiry. Children and Young People impacted by #LongCovid will have a powerful voice.

โWithout targeted support particularly in the wider context of the ongoing cost of living crisis, we risk abandoning people with #LongCovid to ongoing financial disruption & potentially, generational inequalityโ Keir Starmer Wes Streeting Sir Stephen Timms imperial.ac.uk/business-schooโฆ
