Nottinghamshire County Post / Long COVID Service
The Post Covid Service is a non-diagnostic, community based service for adults (over 18 years) presenting with symptoms of Long Covid. Long Covid clinics are held in various locations throughout the county and patients are offered an appointment at their nearest clinic.
Our small, dynamic team consists of Nurses, Occupational Therapists, Vocational Rehab Occupational Therapists, a Respiratory Physiotherapist, a Clinical Psychologist (1 day a week) and access to medics in a weekly multidisciplinary team (MDT).
We offer:
- A holistic clinical assessment
- Support with symptom management through an online group and 1:1 sessions (in a clinic setting)
- Psychological well-being
- Vocational rehabilitation
Our aim is to improve the function, well-being, quality of life and employment for people experiencing Post Covid symptoms. We will provide or request onward referrals when required.

I had been struggling with my symptoms for a while and was referred to a number of hospital departments. It was difficult to make sense of my symptoms and how they linked together.
Then my GP referred me to the Long Covid Service and within weeks I'd had my first assessment meeting. Immediately, I felt like I wasn't going crazy and that all the symptoms I had were linked to Long Covid. It felt affirming to finally find professionals who saw me as a whole.
From then, every professional from the Team has been amazing! From the comprehensive symptom management sessions, to specialist practitioners who have offered me detailed and practical advice, support, and equipment, I cannot say how life changing the Team has been.
With the amazing support I have received, I really wanted to be involved in the ongoing development of the service. I have been delighted to be able to give something back as part of the involvement group. These sessions are a great opportunity to meet other people in similar circumstances in a structured, positive and supported way. This suits me well and I look forward to attending each month!
