Service helps County Durham and Darlington’s long Covid sufferers
The long Covid clinic team at Sedgefield Community Hospital, in County Durham is a innovative service set up to support people experiencing long term effects of Covid-19 in County Durham and Darlington.
After moving quickly to successfully establish long Covid clinics early this year, a partnership of health professionals have gone a step beyond the national requirement to set up post-covid syndrome assessment clinics to develop a fully integrated treatment service.
The aim of this is to be person-centred – putting the patient at the heart of the service – with access to a range of specialists and therapies giving each patient the care they need depending on their individual symptoms.
