The expert report for Long COVID in CYP for the COVID Inquiry has been published. There is discussion about ME & Long Covid within it. But it essentially reads as a puff piece for the UCLH Long Covid Clinic, TRACCS & the CLoCK study. Whom both Whitaker and Segal were in the consortium.
There's is also discussion about how kids are confused between Long Covid symptoms and school avoidance.
As per form, the devil is in the detail, with some sense but the problematic issues sidled in.
It's also very keen to protect the MDT BPS model of the Long COVID clinic & pretty rough on private doctors.
Segal has been discussed in some depth on the forum - due to her problematic history in MECFS. Whitaker specialises in CFS & functional disorders - which says enough in itself.
It looks like the report was commissioned by Long Covid Kids via there involvement in the Covid Inquiry. There's also a link to it on their website.
