Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion

Dr. Siobh?n N? Bhriain:

Okay. I will start with the guidelines if that is okay with the Deputy. We did work with the ICGP in developing the long Covid model of care. At that time, the ICGP organised some training for GPs. It was very well attended, with 1,400 or 1,500 GPs participating in each webinar. The college has produced an evidence-based guide to support the investigation of patients' conditions. We do have protocols and pathways for GPs to refer patients to the long Covid clinics. I ask Dr. Bannan and Dr. Kent to describe what happens to patients when they are referred and what the nature of the examination and investigation process is.
