Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Delivery of Health Services for Patients with Long Covid: Discussion

Dr. Siobh?n N? Bhriain:

I might start to give a sense of this context and then hand over for further discussion. We obviously have different specialties involved in the clinics, directly and indirectly. Mental health services, for example, are indirectly involved but we do have referral pathways to those services. Those psychiatrists, and I am one myself, would share their information. Again, our respiratory and infectious diseases colleagues met regularly when this started to update each other on information and they do share information. Another way in which information is shared is through having case conferences for more complex cases as a general rule of thumb. Perhaps Dr. Bannan would like to add to this point.
