Abstract

Long COVID is emerging as a global public health concern. Health care workers have a relatively high level of exposure to COVID-19 and an elevated risk of Long COVID. This article describes an innovative multidisciplinary approach used for Te Whatu Ora staff with Long COVID in Taranaki. A survey of key stakeholders found that all respondents considered that the service was making a difference for people with Long COVID. Its multi-disciplinary team approach was strongly supported. Te Whatu Ora should consider funding such services more widely. Their development should draw on best international practice and careful evaluation of their effectiveness in Aotearoa.
