ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "The Impact of Long COVID on People Living With Pre-existing Long-Term Conditions," is designed to understand how long COVID affects adults who already have two or more chronic health issues, like diabetes or asthma. Researchers want to find out how long COVID changes their daily lives and what kind of support they might need to recover.

To participate, you need to be at least 18 years old, living in Leicester, UK, and experiencing long COVID alongside multiple long-term health conditions. If you join the study, you’ll be asked to take photos that show how long COVID impacts your life over a week and participate in an interview to share your experiences. This study is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to gather valuable information that could help improve care for people facing the challenges of long COVID alongside other health conditions.
