A new lived experience network will be supported by the ALLIANCE to influence changes in Long Covid care in Scotland.
The ALLIANCE, in partnership with Asthma + Lung UK and Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland, is establishing a network for people affected by Long Covid to gain views from a wide range of people to inform service delivery.
The network forms part of the Scottish Government’s Long Term Effects of COVID-19 Strategic Framework and is directly feeding into the Clinical/Subject Matter Expert Group, the Service Planning Group and the Steering Group within the Framework.
The network, supported by the ALLIANCE, will bring together people affected by Long Covid to inform the design, development and implementation of Long Covid services at local and national level across Scotland.
A launch event for the network has been held on 10 August 2022.
If you would like further information or have any questions, please get in touch at longcovid@alliance-scotland.org.uk or phone 0141 404 0231 and ask for Olivia Friend-Spencer.
To join the network, complete the below network joining form and if you are comfortable to do so, the equality monitoring form and email them to longcovid@alliance-scotland.org.uk
