Managing the long-term effects of COVID-19 – guidelines

Managing the long-term effects of COVID-19 – guidelines

This guideline developed collaboratively by SIGN, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) looks at managing the long-term effects of COVID-19 (also known as long COVID).

This covers the care of people who have signs and symptoms that develop during or after an infection that is consistent with COVID-19, which continue for more than four weeks and are not explained by an alternative diagnosis. These recommendations will be of interest to general practitioners (GPs) and members of the primary care team, healthcare professionals in specialist secondary care services, occupational therapists, rehabilitation medicine staff, and social workers. It will also be of interest to people experiencing long-term symptoms of COVID-19, their family and carers, supportive organisations in the voluntary sector and policy makers

The guidelines can be found here.
