Summary of report content

Healthwatch Trafford undertook a survey to find out what information is being provided to people about long Covid.  They spoke to 55 people.

Almost all respondents had heard of long Covid. The internet and GP surgeries were the most popular places where people might go to learn more about Long COVID. The next most likely sources were the NHS app and NHS 111.  Only a small proportion of respondents had heard about the existing support. Just over half the people surveyed had not had Long COVID. Of those that had, most did not seek further support from health services.

The report contains two recommendations about better information and an improved care pathway.
