Even as a vaccine begins to roll out across the UK, the impact of Covid on the country’s workforce will be felt for some time.

•  Definitions of Long Covid and associated symptoms 
•  Clinical approaches to the condition 
•  Age groups and demographics who may be at risk 
•  How employers can access resources to manage Long Covid cases 
•  How employees can access reliable information and support 
•  Practical adjustments to support employees suffering long-term symptoms 
•  Managing mental health impacts associated with Long Covid
