Award outcome

Description

This service will be for the residents of the London Borough of Bexley and the Royal London Borough of Greenwich who have had Covid for more than 12 weeks and who are still not recovered. It is currently estimated that for patients who have had COVID between 5 to 2.5% will go on to develop post COVID /long COVID syndrome dependent on the sources of research. For some of these patients this will be linked to discharge from an inpatient stay in the acute services following a certain level of severity to COVID. For other patients the prolonged conditions may occur after they have felt recovered from the symptoms of COVID.

Where classes are delivered face to face, this must be in a convenient, accessible location within the London Borough of Bexley, with parking available and good transport links.
