RCN: Long Covid support still failing NHS staff

Nursing staff and doctors with long Covid are still being denied essential financial support, two years after the government’s own scientific advisory body recommended action, according to the Royal College of Nursing (RCN).

Nicola Ranger, General Secretary of the RCN, criticised the current financial assistance, stating it "does not adequately support medical and nursing staff." She is urging long Covid to be officially recognised as an occupational disease.
