[NEW] Long COVID Guidance on Healthify to refer to and share.

Healthify is a trusted New Zealand website providing easy-to-understand health information and self-help resources for the public and guidance for health practitioners as well. The site is endorsed by the Royal NZ College of General Practitioners.

Recently, we were invited by Healthify to assist with updating the content for long COVID. We reached out to Long Covid Support Aotearoa to work with us on this, and were delighted to have Catherine Appleby, LCSA committee member and a Nurse Practitioner, lead the development of the detailed content.

Take a look at the new information which is spread across three pages. Share it with people experiencing long COVID symptoms.

Overview of long COVID - https://healthify.nz/health-a-z/c/covid-19-long-covid

Management of long COVID - https://healthify.nz/health-a-z/l/long-covid-managing-your-symptoms

Long COVID FAQs - https://healthify.nz/health-a-z/l/long-covid-faqs

You may find it useful to share this content with your whānau and health team as well.

Thank you to Catherine Appleby, Amanda Wyatt, our Nurse Team Lead, and Claire Budge, Clinical Editor at Healthify, for the huge amount of work on this project.

Note: The accompanying information for health professionals still needs to be updated.
