Lunch and Learn

Long Covid

Thank-you to everyone who attended our lunch and learn session yesterday. Our guest speakers, Jane Beenstock, Alison Pye and Cath Taylor from the Public Health team, have been following the development and research relating to Long Covid and they gave us a very interesting insight into what Long Covid is and what the research around this topic is telling us.

If you missed the session, you can catch up here (please use your LSCFT email to access.)

We would really appreciate any feedback on these sessions. If you have a few spare minutes we kindly ask you to complete our survey- which should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete: https://www.surveymonkey.com

Our next session will be held in June and will focus on Strategy Development . We hope to see as many of you there. Please contact carmel.smith@lscft.nhs.uk if you would like an invite to this session.
