Peer Support

Peer support is when people use their own experience to help each other

Peer support is a critical part of living with health conditions. Peer support is available for anybody living with Long COVID through our partners and allies including Long Covid Support, Long Covid Kids, Body Politic, Long Covid Scotland, Long Covid Wales, Long Covid SOS, Long COVID Europe, Long Haulers Support Network Canada, Patient-Led Research Collaborative, Black COVID Survivors Alliance, Long COVID Nurses and Midwives UK, Royal College of Nursing group for its members, and many others.


Long COVID Physio provides peer support for Physiotherapists, Allied Health Professionals (AHPs), and Allied Health Professional support workers living with Long COVID. We provide a safe space to bring together healthcare professionals with shared experiences of living with Long COVID globally. We provide a space where you feel accepted and understood. Everyone’s experience is treated as equally important.
