Are you a COVID-19 Survivor?

Although the majority of people recover from COVID-19 without any long-lasting effects, many people have a longer road to recovery. The NHS is offering help to people who may have 'long-COVID.'

Find out more about how to get support for yourself, family members and carers on the long covid website or on the NHS Long Covid Keeping Well website.
