Co-designing a shared consultation guide to support nurses with identification and management of Long-COVID, to improve patient safety and experience.

Long-COVID or post-COVID-19 syndrome is a new, relatively common condition. Complex presentation can make diagnosis difficult with patients struggling to access appropriate treatment and support. Failing to appropriately identify and manage people with Long-COVID poses a safety risk for patients and population health and potential professional risk for nurses. While nurses are well placed to support timely identification, referral, and treatment of Long-COVID, and enable patients’ self-management of symptoms, they need practical resources to guide best practice. This article outlines the co-design of a shared consultation guide to address this gap, whilst enhancing patient safety and experience.<p></p>
