Long Covid Assessment Clinic
Suffolk and North East Essex

The Creative Health social prescribing project in SNELCAS (Suffolk & North Essex Long Covid Assessment Clinic) is working in partnerships to support those with Long Covid.

As part of the development of the programme practitioners from the Long Covid team delivered a 0.5-day training session to the creative health providers commissioned to deliver services to this patient group.  Each practitioner was compensated for their time acknowledging the commitment to the development of the programme.

Loss of identity, isolation, cognitive function, and brain fog are some of the issues facing those suffering with Long Covid and these sessions created an opportunity for the experiences of people with Long Covid to be discussed and understood with the acknowledgment that the arts offers an obvious route for peer support, tackling social isolation, offering meaningful activities while also supporting cognitive repair.
