@JCeoltaSmith and Dr Clare Rayner have now stepped down from their roles with the @long_covid Employment Group
Both Jenny and Clare have also temporarily stepped down from @longcovidwork -both were co founders of this which is independent of our advocacy work for @long_covid

I joined the U.K. @MEAssociation + just got a pack of information in the post. There is the opportunity of the phone support 😊

@BinitaKane As an #OccupationalTherapist I was dismayed with #Disregard to my reports of visual changes at #LongCovid clinic- No advice, signposting etc No specific knowledge of #LongCovid known at the opticians either. Anecdotal reports of dry eye+++ too, that's important and treatment

Dear @SteveGFord @LaylaMoran asks what is happening to support workers with #LongCovid below.
We would love to hear more from @theRCOT on this please.

Despite explicitly acknowledging the need to help people with long-term illnesses and disabilities, the Chancellor had nothing to offer the 2 million people living with Long Covid in the UK, many of whom find it impossible to ‘get back to work’.

Speaking on Sky News earlier 👇

[Occupational Therapy for Long Covid @OTforLC]

@theRCOT we hope there are discussions in the pipe line about the release and content of the new White paper? We hope to discuss this with you in due course and it fits with our activities led by @JCeoltaSmith via @longcovidwork #DutyOfCare #DWP #Benefits #LongCovid #Disabled

@j_b_kennedy I feel like I’ve been to an all night event after yesterday. Everything hurts but it felt positive to shout out.
I’m going to start a page on our @OTforLC website
In next 2-3 weeks. Your song link will be available there. #PowerOfOccupations #LongCovidCreativity @Occ4LifeLtd
