Living with Covid 19

Second Review

National Institute for Health Research (NIHR); 2021.

This is the second of two dynamic reviews of the evidence around people’s experience of the enduring symptoms following a Covid19 infection.

A dynamic review of the evidence around ongoing Covid19, discussing the current evidence, what ‘Long Covid’ is along with the causes, diagnosis and management of Long Covid.

“The complexity of needs in some people with Long Covid mirrors the needs of people with multiple long-term conditions who benefit from a holistic, integrated approach rather than symptom by symptom management. Many people with Long Covid complain of fragmented care and 23% of our survey respondents wanted a case worker/key worker to co-ordinate care.”
