Happy 75th birthday to our NHS 🎂🎉🎈💙 “It's a really proud moment to stop, take a breath and look forward to the future. Thank you to everybody for your incredible dedication and hard work” - Siobhan Melia, Chief Executive at Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust. #NHS75
We were honoured to have the opportunity to represent @nhs_scft and @NHSSussex to showcase our great work at the national long COVID conference today.
Kerry is a Care Co-ordinator for the Post Covid Assessment Service in Sussex. Her role involves supporting people to access the care they need to help them recover from Long Covid. Hear more about the service in our new podcast: sites.libsyn.com/413723/nhs-sus…
It was great to learn more about the @scottishballet SB Emerge programme, and the benefits for patients living with long Covid in our team meeting this morning.

It's International Long Covid Day! Not sure what Long Covid is? If you have had COVID and you're struggling with symptoms like breathlessness or extreme tiredness four or more weeks later, there's a chance you might have it. Watch to find out how to get support 😮💨
If you have had COVID-19 and the symptoms continue for more than 4 weeks, you might have Long COVID. Long COVID can have a serious impact on your life, causing ongoing symptoms like breathlessness, chest pain and gastrointestinal problems. Contact your GP if you are concerned.
Our clinical forum on FND earlier this week had a great response. Thank you to Dr Gregory for presenting and increasing our understanding of this condition. It was great to discuss the overlap with long Covid and the benefits of a needs-based approach. #FND #LongCovid
If you have Long COVID and are experiencing breathlessness, you may benefit from practicing 'Good Breathing'. You can do this on different positions, check this video from @physio4bpd for guidance on what Good Breathing is and how to practice it bit.ly/3QJLcUW
Depression is quite common for people living with #LongCovid and it can make us feel angry for so many different reasons. This anger is totally normal, common, and understandable – it doesn’t make us a terrible person.

If you are coughing phlegm you might benefit from using the Active Cycle of Breathing Technique to help clear your chest. You can watch this video from NHS University Hospitals Plymouth to know how to do it bit.ly/3POE5tx
Breathlessness is one of the most common symptoms of Long COVID. Practicing Breathing Control can be a powerful tool to improve it. These videos from University College London Hospitals can guide you: bit.ly/3vvNXQE bit.ly/3oN4cFk
Many people with Long COVID have developed a persistent cough. If this is your case, please contact your GP to investigate it further. You can also try the Stop Cough Technique shown below. For more information bit.ly/3IVwXZz
Did you know that having a breathing disorder can cause a wide range of symptoms, from cough and anxiety, to pins and needless or chest tightness? Practicing good breathing (see previous posts) can help improve all these symptoms. bit.ly/3IVwXZz
If you feel breathless you might be hyperventilating, your breathing has become faster than normal, and your body is on constant alert. For more information: bit.ly/3IVwXZz and bit.ly/3aYkAzm
#Mindfulness & guided imagery can be useful tools to help us take time out & re-centre or calm an over-active/anxious mind. If you're interested in trying some out, here are links to 3 free examples of the many mindfulness practices that are out there: mindful.org/3-practices-to…
⚠️ There's an amber weather warning of extreme heat for today until Tuesday. 🛡️ Protect yourself and your loved ones by covering up and staying hydrated. 👁️ Watch out for signs of heat exhaustion. 📞 Call 111 for non-emergency health advice, keeping 999 for emergencies only.
Useful article full of tips on staying cool in the hot weather, including a few we hadn't though of: Putting your pyjamas in the freezer (!) and the Royal Navy trick of submerging your hands in cold water. What have you found works best for you? #Heatwave bit.ly/3PAYz8p
As #SCFT PCASS service continues to develop and improve it's support for patients with #LongCovid, it means so much to the team to receive such lovely feedback from our patients... thank you!
