Three years on from the start of the pandemic we continue to navigate and build our understanding of Long Covid’s impact, its best treatment pathways and question what the future holds. Following on from our first two episodes in this series, we return to the topic with ‘Spotlight on Long Covid, part 3’. This extended webinar programme will present the most up-to-date knowledge of the condition, highlight findings from ongoing research and share key insights from clinicians, researchers and patients. Joining us will be researchers from the LOCOMOTION study**, a £3.4 million project identifying the best ways to treat and support Long Covid, alongside clinicians who lead on the treatment, service development and our understanding of the long-term effects of COVID-19.

What treatment?! And best is being used very generously here. The least-worst-but-still-not-effective-at-all is not anyone's definition of best. Well, only in healthcare, I guess. Although at least it's presenting the Patient-led paper (which was one of the top downloaded papers in Nature) and there is Brandan Delaney. Greenhalgh, though... There is mention of a C19-YRS symptom questionnaire. And wow is the site a self-promotion campaign of its own. Never heard of it, but they seem to think it's super important. Or something. The site has NICE's seal at the bottom. It's a very standard questionnaire. Nothing special: https://c19-yrs.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Modified-C19YRS_13_07_21-1.pdf. So much marketing in medicine... Hypedy hype and more hype.
