Developing services for long COVID: lessons from a study of wounded healers.

Persistent symptoms lasting longer than 3 weeks are thought to affect 10-20% of patients following SARS-CoV-2 infection.

These individuals see the healthcare system from both professional and patient perspectives, thus represent an important wealth of expertise to inform service design.We present a set of co-designed quality standards, highlighting equity and ease of access, minimal patient care burden, clinical responsibility, a multidisciplinary and evidence-based approach, and patient involvement; and we apply these to propose a potential care pathway model that could be adapted and translated to improve care of patients long COVID.
