New Long Covid and Mental Health Support Policy Brief

A new policy briefing has been produced which draws on 80 interviews conducted between November 2021 – March 2022 with people living with self-identified Long Covid symptoms. This is part of the qualitative workstream of the UCL CONVALESCENCE Long Covid project, which focuses on the lived experience and support for people with Long Covid from varied socio-demographical and geographical backgrounds.

In this brief, increasingly prevalent mental health challenges are highlighted that face Long Covid communities in the UK. It aims to identify gaps in current policy provision to inform Long Covid care and support in a more holistic manner, as well as to reduce NHS and public health expenses.
