Experiences of this condition align with other invisible illnesses, chronic health conditions that are not immediately visible to others but significantly affect a person's daily life. To better understand individual lived experiences, we interviewed 20 people with Long COVID, 10 with similar hidden illnesses and 10 carers. We sought to capture the impact of the condition(s) on their lives, understand individual health service needs, and the barriers they have faced accessing appropriate support.
