Long Covid

Recovery from COVID-19 can take a long time and some people suffer from symptoms for over 12 weeks. There are multiple symptoms such as breathlessness, fatigue, chest pain, dizziness, depression and joint pain. These symptoms vary from person to person and from day to day and they can have an effect on your mental health. They also can affect you at home and your ability to work. If you are struggling please book an appointment with your GP.

COVID Research

Volunteers are needed for the EXCEED study, which is looking at the impact of COVID-19 on long-term health conditions by collecting information about genes and lifestyle. The research team, which is based at the University of Leicester, is particularly keen to involve people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds, as early evidence suggests that people from these communities seem to develop more severe COVID-19 and are more likely to be hospitalised. You can take part if you are over the age of 18 and live in the Midlands by filling in short health questionnaires. For more information and to register visit www.exceed.org.uk

Germ defence - This website www.germdefence.org/index.html?src=C84120 has scientifically proven advice to reduce COVID-19 infections. It takes 10 minutes – try it out!

Psychological impact of COVID19 - The aim of this survey is to better understand how the coronavirus and the restrictions necessary to prevent its spread are impacting on our day to day lifestyle. We hope to find out what is helpful for people during this time and also what may be causing some people to be affected more than others in terms of their wellbeing.
