NEWS: Call for Participants: Accessing Social Support for Long Covid

MWH Admin TeamCampaign, News, Survey

The ALLIANCE and Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland have commissioned a researcher, Dr Emma Miller, to carry out lived experience research into people with Long Covid’s access to social support, and the call for participants has launched.

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. Access the form here.

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 07796 630922
