"Have your say"

Tell us about your experiences of accessing support for Long Covid.

Thanks to the significant number of people who have contacted us about this project, and their willingness to share their time and experiences, recruitment for interviewees has now closed. Thank you!

If you want to be kept informed about the results of the project, please email Hannah at hannah.tweed@alliance-scotland.org.uk. 

 

This research project is about the experiences of people with Long Covid in accessing appropriate social support.

We want to learn about how people with Long Covid have been managing their lives and what supports they have been able to access. This includes resources that might be required for people to live independently and well and engage with their communities.

Taking part could help make positive changes to how Long Covid is supported in Scotland. We hope that our research will provide evidence to help improve policy and practice. To do that, we want to hear from as many people as possible, to fully represent what works and what does not work in the current system – to influence how support and services continue to develop.

This project involves interviews with adults and young people with Long Covid. Interviews will take place remotely, either online or by telephone. They will take no more than an hour (ideally 30 minutes). Comments from interviews will be fully anonymised prior to any publication of project findings.

If you have experienced or are living with Long Covid we’d be very keen to hear from you.

If you’ve any questions about the project, or are interested in taking part, please email Dr Emma Miller at e.miller@strath.ac.uk or phone 07796630922.

“Accessing social support for Long Covid” is a joint project between the Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland (the ALLIANCE) and Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland (this link will take you away from our website), carried out by Dr Emma Miller (Senior Research Fellow at the University of Strathclyde).

More information on the project is available on our project information sheet here.
