This project aims to understand the impact of long COVID on critical services (NHS, Education and Police). Including understanding the scale of the problem, the experiences of staff at work (or not) with LC and colleagues, and the experiences of those in service delivery, workforce planning, support and management roles – such as managers, occupational health staff, and union representatives.
