Long Covid rehabilitation: what should a recovery plan look like?
We’re delighted with the results of our Long Covid rehabilitation programme, featured in Personnel Today after we helped 82% of employees.
According to the NHS, over half a million people are now struggling with long covid recovery.
Help them to overcome symptoms ranging from fatigue, joint pain, depression and breathlessness with our long covid workplace rehabilitation services.
Our proven long covid recovery services have helped over 80% of employees referred to remain in or return to work. With individual long covid recovery plans designed to reduce sickness absence.
If you have employees struggling with Long Covid recovery, our case managed service includes:
Long Covid clinical assessment:
to understand the employee’s symptoms and impact this has on their ability to work
Long Covid return to work plan:
with guidance on how to support the employee and any workplace adjustments needed
Long Covid rehabilitation programme:
up to six rehabilitation sessions with our MSK and psychological clinical experts
We can also provide group support such as Long Covid workshops delivered by our multi-disciplinary team of experts
Long Covid is difficult to recover from as it requires people to pace themselves and manage fatigue, pain and breathlessness to stay within their limits. Long covid recovery support, delivered by clinical experts, ensures a gradual but sustainable recovery.
Living with a health condition can make some employees feel depressed or lose sleep. As part of a wider occupational health group, we can also connect them with mental health, sleep hygiene and nutrition services. All vital to driving recovery.
Line managers will have the option to refer people who are struggling and be given detailed advice on how best to facilitate their recovery. Including a Long Covid return to work plan with recommended adjustments to reduce sick leave.
Our Long Covid rehabilitation programme, based on evolving NICE guidelines, has delivered some impressive results. Supporting people who were initially unable to even walk upstairs to return to work and employers to retain valued talent.
Two in five (40%) employees were helped to return to work with adjustments to support their ongoing recovery. More than one in five (22%) were helped to remain in work, with or without adjustments. Meaning, overall, 82% of those provided with Long Covid recovery support were able to return to performing at work.
