Long COVID is an emerging area that’s still not well understood. This
webinar will explore the latest evidence on post-COVID condition – what causes long COVID, its prevalence, risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis and management. It will also discuss the role of Long COVID clinics and how we can replicate the St Vincent’s Long COVID Clinic’s multi-disciplinary specialist medical and allied health approach to diagnosis and management here on the North Coast. There will be time for Q&A with all speakers.
