UK:NHS: Feel Good Tennis for Long Covid

Unbelievable. An NHS 6 week program at a tennis club for pwLC to learn to play tennis while also getting lifestyle advice.

This from an NHS that is falling apart from lack of funding and clinicians and they waste money on this.

The world's gone mad.

Actually I wonder if it's worse than that i.e. the system has incentives that/encourages this crap - give patients something like this, get some +ve feedback on the evaluation forms --- some +ve's to base the trust chief executives bonus on!

Especially if you don't have Long-Covid and just sign-up because you want to learn tennis, supposedly for free.

As far as I can see the programme doesn't even state that participants have to have Long-Covid or that there is any verification that you do have LC, wanting to understand it seems sufficient "supporting participants understand and or deal with the symptoms of long covid".

On can easily sign-up by entering ones details here, no reference to health or anything required, just your name: https://www.feelgoodtennis.co.uk/programme/.
 
This could be turned into a good parody, similar to Mitchell & Webb's Homeopathic A&E. Just switch the homeopathy to therapeutic recreation and you basically don't have to change anything.

Got cancer? Oh we can sign you for our pottery class. Broken leg? We got a great ski course for you. Brain aneurysm? Let's get that patient to the comedy club, stat!
