Supporting your recovery after COVID-19

Long COVID

Long COVID is a commonly used term to describe:

  • Ongoing symptomatic COVID-19: signs and symptoms of COVID-19 from 4 to 12 weeks.
  • Post-COVID-19 syndrome: signs and symptoms that develop during or after COVID-19 and continue for more than 12 weeks and are not explained by an alternative diagnosis.

If ongoing symptomatic COVID-19 is diagnosed (from 4 weeks after infection), the patient may be offered the following:

  • Signposting to self-management support including the online platform Your COVID Recovery (YCR) Phase 1
  • Supported self-management from the practice or primary care network team; this may include input from social prescribers, health and wellbeing coaches and care coordinators with linking into community groups or other existing community services as appropriate
  • Referral into a Post COVID assessment clinic if self-management alone is not appropriate and if further investigations or support are required

If you think you are suffering with Long COVID please contact the GP surgery.
