Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion
Ms Sarah O'Connell:
To take up a point hinted at by Ms O'Donovan, based on the emerging evidence, we are finding that patients are going to public long Covid clinics and to their GPs and they know a hell of a lot more about long Covid than the doctors they are speaking to because they are researching it constantly. Obviously, we understand that doctors cannot stay on top of everything and of the thousands of studies being done, but there does not seem to be much up-to-date knowledge coming through.
