NHS England: Long COVID: advice and resources for healthcare professionals in primary care

[John Mac]

This Guidelines summary provides healthcare professionals in primary care with key information and advice to support patients who are living with long COVID, along with resources to support communications with communities.

The guideline was published alongside the NHS plan for improving long COVID services and the revised National commissioning guidance for post COVID services.

Well that is depressing. They still aren't considering tests for clotting which has been shown around the world now to be a problem. No tests for Cytokines or Interlukens all of which are usually elevated, but they are running the usual set of blood tests that show nothing at all. Rehab sounds like a bunch of exercise some psychology and a forum. The more things get worse the more the UK response stays firmly the same.

So the entire treatment/management section is just the yourcovidrecovery website that everyone thinks is a joke.

Great. Awesome work from experts. Well worth all that money. The future of medicine is glorious: there's an app for that, it's totally useless, but there's an app for that, so shut up. This is really in line with the "why try if we're going to fail anyway?" mindset.
