Give Doctors The Tools They Need for Long Covid
There are treatments available now that can make a big difference to peoples’ lives.
So how do we get these treatments to patients?
1. Make sure doctors are aware of the latest research & treatments.
Share these links with healthcare professionals:
2. Campaign to update the national guidelines.
Each country has a regulatory body that determines which treatments and medications doctors can prescribe. When it comes to Long Covid, the current guidance is outdated and holding back proper care.
Part 1: Bring the learning together in one document.
If we can unify clinical learning and the latest research around a single shared framework, we can accelerate improvements in patient care & clarify priorities for regulators and public bodies
The CoRE Provider manual is a good start.
Part 2: Campaign for the guidance to be updated.
Each national regulator takes a different approach to update guidance. In the UK, NICE (National Institute for Health Care & Excellence) provides the following framework.

We may not have a cure yet, but there are effective, low-cost treatments that can help people get back to work, back to school, and back to their lives.
Getting effective treatments to the millions affected by Long Covid benefits everyone.
