Research
Research is vital to understanding Long Covid and finding better ways to diagnose, treat, and support people living with the condition.
From exploring how the illness affects the body to understanding its wider impact on people's lives, research is how we all move closer to answers.
Get involved in research
We firmly believe that people living with Long Covid should have a voice in the research that affects them. That's why patient and public involvement (PPI) is central to our research work.
We support and contribute to Long Covid research in lots of different ways. Explore our pages below to find out more.
