42 - Dr Alison Twycross - LCNMUK

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.LCNMUK websiteSocial links – Twitter/FaceBook/InstagramAlison's blogs:BMJ - "Support for healthcare professionals with Long Covid returning to work a national disgrace"BMJ - The rise & fall of our NHS heroesBMJ - Disability is not what you think it isBMJ - Is a lack of knowledge about Long Covid a reason to dodge people's needs?"Living with Long Covid - some reflections 14 months down the line"Financial Times article  Evidence based podcast with Elaine Maxwell (NIHR) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Long Covid Podcast is self-produced & self funded.
