1/ We will add here links to resources for workers and stakeholders on #WorkingWithLongCovid some we were involved in.
These are mainly U.K. but some have transferability to other countries. Please share and tag us to other resources 🐝 #LongCovid

We hope @andyburnham will accept the invitation to meet with d/Deaf and Disabled People’s Organisations.
This is a crucial opportunity for the PM to engage in a meaningful dialogue with our community and put into practice the principle of 'nothing about us without us'.

Thank you Dr. Amir Khan for warning of LongCovid on @lorraine! And thank you Lorraine for giving him the platform!!

"What his proposals will do is discriminate against Disabled people based on age, drive a worsening of mental and physical health and push young Disabled people into poverty."

Long Covid can be progressive.

Probably best not to use DMs to contact DNS in future as I've only today received a string of messages sent to me over the last few weeks. No idea what @X is up to.

@ScribblerPen @alanmilburn1958 @andyburnham We hope @andyburnham will listen to #DisabledPeople and to act on what they say @GMCDP about this report .

[PenScribbler @ScribblerPen]

My disabled child (under 25) used their PIP to get a wheelchair to get to lectures and work. They are having to fight hard for reasonable adjustments. Tell us @alanmilburn1958 @andyburnham, what stripping that support and forcing a young person out of study or work will achieve?

Great news. Buy your copy now on Amazon to find out how to do infection prevention and control in an evidence based way. You’ll also be supporting us. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

[@Dr Jenny Ceolta-Smith PhD RetiredOT 💙💛 @JCeoltaSmith]

👇 first if you receive the health element of UC you’re not deemed unemployed and second #PIP isn’t a work related #Benefit
This is of concern for example, a young person may have #LongCovid #MECFS and be unfit for work

It's there on Amazon in 2 formats - will sort out the e-book presently.
It's a different way of looking at transmission - source to infection pathways

⚠️ Have we learnt from the mistakes highlighted by the UK Covid-19 Inquiry?

Our new briefing calls for an independent review of national IPC guidance to understand why previous errors occurred and persisted.

Dr Claire Taylor was an expert witness in this case which is of public interest

[Diana Taylor @dianataylorabz]

#ME #Longcovid I have been made aware of a high court judgement that has been released in the public’s interest and could positively impact anyone being admitted to hospital. The parents requested Dr Claire Taylor to be their expert witness and it is Dr T’s report 1/

[Diana Taylor @dianataylorabz]

That the judge used to make his decision, fully backing it, with the report challenging decisions made by the medical profession re the care provided to a child. The judgement can be found here : https://t.co/0nT7thj1O3 . Perhaps bookmark it in case of future need.

[Disability News Service @johnpringdns]

The government’s annual publication of figures on disability employment has failed yet again to show how disabled people’s experience in the jobs market has changed over the last year.

[Disability News Service @johnpringdns]

Disabled people have provided vital first-person evidence of the extra costs faced by autistic people, and those with ADHD, anxiety and depression, just as the government appears set to recommend cuts to their benefits.

We wrote along with our allies to @andyburnham in September to propose a meeting to discuss L0NG C0VlD. We would really welcome the chance to discuss the very real difficulties millions of people face with this illness.
