Episode 42 of the Long Covid Podcast is a chat with Dr Alison Twycross, founder of Long Covid Nurses & Midwives UK. We chat through her experiences with Covid & then Long Covid as well as her work in employment and specifically with nurses & midwives.
There are a lot of employers who are treating their staff well, but sadly there seem to be more that aren't and we chat about some of the problems & possible solutions to helping people with Long Covid (& other chronic conditions) to recover whilst remaining in work.
